Re: sudden reboot

This won't fix your problem, but it'll keep your machine from rebooting,
unless the rebooting is caused by a hardware problem. To fix that you need
to fix the hardware problem.

It may also help reading a BSOD. Blue Screen Of Death.

Choosing recovery actions if Windows stops unexpectedly.

Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab |
Click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery |
Under System Failure | UNCheck: Automatically restart |
Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK

Automatically restart
[[Specifies whether Windows will automatically reboot whenever the system
stops unexpectedly.
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to set
recovery options.]]

anon <vxpy7do02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
When I press a key to exit from an automatic standby Computer has gone to
screen saver, then blank (black) screen [normal], and then to the blinking
light in the power switch. - (pressing a key usually turns on the screen
to previous state), instead the computer reboots instead of just waking
up.

The system error log is copied below.

This has happened twice in the last couple of days.

How to fix??
