    OK. ( XP ) For some time now when I look at task manager my explorer program is running at 99% CPu and 220,000 memory, If end it and restart explorer it work find, but recently my PC keeps switch of and on, sometime I can't even get into Windows, it just restarts, If I try to run to many things at once it switches off, or if I play Medal of Honor, after about 3 minutes it switches off. I have run scandisk and anti virus, I am my wits end, please help

    I have had the same in the past - stop explorer and start it again, then everything's fine. Annoying, isn't it.

    Unfortunately after running a whole host of diagnistic tools (all of which said nothing was wrong) and even the Windows XP repair tool from the CD rom, the problem didn't go away. I tried a few forums, and acted on the only advice I got - reinstall!

    Its telling you if you install this (xp from cd) you will lose all your SP or updates.

    The pc shutting itself off MAY point to an overheating problem as most graphics cards or mobos shut down b4 they can be fried(self preservation)

    didn't thinkn of the graphics card, that would make sence, the CPU is not overheating, How can I tell if the graphics card is overheating. Beause when ever i play a game it does switch off.
