Computer restarts for no reason..?
Recently due to the festive break, I have spent more time online than normal... have'nt we all..?.
I am just browsing around and then all of a sudden my system just shuts down and then re-starts on it's own.It has done this at least three times a day, for the past week.
It carries on to restart itself and seems to run on as normal. It's a bit annoying.
The case, heatsink and fans are dust free.

I use ESET nod32 for my virus protection, it updates automatically everytime I start up. It has done a complete system scan and reports no viruses
My microsoft updates also notify me when they are available... with a pop up from the bottom right of the toolbar.
The power button is pretty definite ... my system is a Fujitsu Siemens and is built like a BMW.

I was just about to answer the last question and it shut down again...that's the third time today.
No I get no warning. Sometimes its twice in an hour...today it's been three times in around six hours.
I have had blue text on a white background a few times recently...but the screens gone before you can start to read it..!
When it restarts I sometimes get a message saying..Your system has recovered from a serious error..do you want to report it.
There seems to be no pattern to the shutdown....I did check.. Time management..in control panel.

It's all hoovered out..no dust...so I dont thik it's overheating.
Now a corrupted file sounds promising...how do I do a file and settings transfer etc....I do have two hard drives and the slave drive is about 85% free...I've also got a RW-DVD to hand.
I think something is missing because sometimes images have a red cross in the corner, and can't be viewed.

if you put your windows dvd in it will give you a "file and settings transfer options" alternativly I prefer to boot up using F8 and safe mode and then do the file and settings transfer as the safe mode should prevent the computer shutting down while it is creating the file
that is presuming you are on windows xp, if you are on vista its called "windows easy transfer" under help
you can save your files and settings to your other drive
