ok, i think is the first time i use this forum, but im in total emergency and im desperate., this is my story.


My pc was full of viruses some weeks ago, but one of the most anoyying concerns was that it rebooted randomly...and this was a pain because i lost a lot of works form the university which were unsaved in the moment of the reboot.

ok, now i have formatted it 3 times,,and this stupid pc keeps rebooting,,, evemn without any virus inside...

when i return to the desktop after the reboot, it send a message like "ur system have recovered from a fatal error"...and sometimes the blue screen of death appears with a message about some harware or software is not instaled properly, and that it is the reason of the system unstability...

I use an Nvidia gforce card but i dont think it is the reason of the problem....
IM very sure that the problem is inside the pc, but im not good with pc problems and im desperate.

a guy told me that it can be something that is not inserted well , but i dont know.

right now im tryng it with another monitor, and it have not rebooted.. but this reboots happen randomly and im still testing this monitor...


so please if someone have any ideas...help me!!

Are you backing up your files and replacing them on the computer after you format it?

Not so hot on the video cards, etc. Sorry. :down:

I always wanted to say this to a person and be serious about it:

You got worms.

Ever heard of MS Blast? Well, there are variations for it. You need to setup a firewall and then use Windows Update to grab all the crucial downloads before it reboots again.

    Well, you obviously already have worms on the computer, that's why it's rebooting.

    If you can't go to windows update without it rebooting before it's done:

    Reinstall, then setup a proper firewall while still offline, then go online and grab the winows updates.

    I see, probably not a worm then. Might be hardware related or Windows related then. Install Linux. ;)

    Of course, if it's a hardware problem, Linux won't help. I'd suggest a physical uninstallation.

    some moments ago i switched both pcs... mine and my dad´s form their place...


    and when i was using my dads in my room...(were mine used to be).. by mistake i hitted the floor fan, which is connected to one of the siwtches where the pc is,,,and it rebooted...well not rebooted, it shutted down..

    and when i turned it on again.. the pc went to a black screen with some advises... the same screen i always see when i reboot.

    i noticed that when i connectedthe fan to the siwtches.. it sounded like "some electricity" and everything that was connected to the swicthes turned off...

    in sumary... maybe the fan is causing some inestability in the electricity that makes the pc reboot because of the changes in the electrical flow...

    is not sure but ill continue trying..

    oh yes i am :down:
    I'd suggest two things:
    1. Get a surge protector.

    2. Get an electrician to install a few more plugs in the relevant rooms. Most old houses weren't designed with modern technology in mind.
