Crashing

[nlamont]

I folks, My computer is only a year and a half old but i'm having lots of problems. It randomly blue screens and restarts, what i'm doing at the time has no effect. I don't even have to be doing anything, i've walked away, came back in an hour or so and it has restarted itself. I had someone have a look at it a while back and they put in new RAM as that was the problem they said, doesn't seem so! Thanks ahead of time for anything you can give me!

If it says something about your ram then maybe you need to give Memtest a run - http://www.majorgeeks.com/MemTest_d350.html

Leave it running for about half an hour and tell us if you get any errors.

Faulty operating system can also cause random restarts.Reinstalling might fix it.

Well i had that problem before and i disabled Hypher thread in the bios and then it never restarted.

the reason its restarting because of a hardware problem , it could be your ram or power supply

i would try formating the whole computer and reinstalling the OS and if that doesnt work u basically ruled out the software problem so it has to be your hardware .

I've had the hard drive wiped before and Windows reinstalled twice, i'll try the memtest and see what happens,thanks!
