Myke 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Just before you computer restarts, do you hear a strange clicking noise? If so, then you have a physical error on the HDD, which is pretty much unrepairable. If not, try booting up from a boot disk. Share this post Link to post
coolguy3 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Could be a bad capacitor on your computer's motherboard or power supply. I had similar issues as you describe with XP. After replacing 4 faulty capacitors on MB, the rebooting/resetting problems vanished. Take a look at my previous post here: http://www.compatdb.org/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/171627/page/0#Post171627 Good luck getting it sorted. Vince / coolguy3 Share this post Link to post
