    My PC running Vista reboots on its own (usually once every other day).

    I have run the anti malware programs suggested and have attached the log files (I neglected to save the Super AntiSpyware log, but will run again and attach new logs if requested)

    Based on your logs which are all clean, you are not having malware problems.

    I will move this thread to the Hardware Forum which is more appropriate at this time.
    • Make sure that your laptop is not overheating.
    • I also suggest that you check out your Event Viewer logs to see if you can find the reason for the reboots. See this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749408.aspx You should be able to additional help on reading/interpreting this info from people in the Hardware Forum.
    Also note that unrelated to your reboot problem, you need to get your Windows updates at some point. You are out of date.

    You need to turn off "reboot on error". That way, you will get a BSOD and white printing which gives the error and an error number. Once you post the words and error number, we can try and figure out what is causing the error.
