If the laptop automatically restarts, it is possible of a macro virus already... try updating your virus scan definitions and scan the whole laptop... it may not even be a hardware or software issue - just something running and causing it to restart automatically. Try this first.

Just started having this problem the past two days: -

My PC will constantly reboot during startup, sometimes just one or two seconds in. Don't think it's a Windows problem, since it won't even reach the windows loading screen most of the time. Though when it finally manages to boot and reach the desktop, the PC will work fine.

Hence I think this problem only occurs during a cold boot. I suspect it is a PSU problem (it's 2+ years old) but why does it work fine when it manages to reach the desktop?

As an update, I've confirmed that's a PSU problem. Changed to a new Enermax 480W and now it's running smoothly

Good day,

I dunno is it correct thread to post.
Currently I'm upgrading my pc from 754 socket to am2 socket mobo.
The prob is, when I try to shutdown windows xp, the mobo will boot instead of turn off. Can some one help me with this kind of prob. Kindly PM me.

my pc recently shutdown and didnt boot up....i checked the automatically restart option in the start up and recovery window....
so i dont think it bsod problem...

i am using window xp sp3, c2d 6750 stock speed, 8800gt stock speed, just change psu (b4 also got happen), 2gb ram, 3 hard disks, casing with open side panel

i check my 8800gt temp....around 61 celcius idle, cpu temp not more than 50 celcius. i think i left my pc on for almost 3 days sometimes even longer....but that shouldnt be a problem rite? last time no problem...but just recently will shutdown and didnt boot up automatically
any suggestions to diagnose ?
