RE: Computer suddenly reboots itself



I hope you don't mind me posting in this thread but I also have almost the
same problems but I also can't seem to start a new thread either! But we Have
an HP Pavillion Pentium III computer that is five years old. Earlier this
year we upgraded the ram from 256 to 384, the computer wouldn't take the 512.
:-( But we also went from Windows ME to XP Home and now have the same
problems with the computer randomly restarting on it's own. There are NO dust
bunnies because the inside was completely cleaned out when we upgraded. The
computer runs much quieter now too. :-) But not only do we have random starts
but the computer will like stop responding and freeze up so that you have to
restart the computer or you can't run more than one program at a time or
it'll freeze or reboot. The computer has slowed down immensly and we have
cable connection at 3 gigabytes, it's slower now than ever! We can't seem to
ever run a scandisk because it'll get almost done and restart. I know there
is one infected file but what scandisking was done should have renamed the
file and then I always go and delete the tempfiles. We aren't sure if it's
just time for a new computer or if there is something we can do to save it?
I am an artist and have alot of large image files on the computer too but was
told that when they are not in use it should not slow the computer down. I
would appreciate any suggestions or hopefully an answer to why this is
happening.
Oh yes, we are also a family of five and all have our own desktops, would
that affect the computer? I cannot download anything anymore from y desktop
and I could in the beginning, all of a sudden now I can't. I was told that to
have one dekstop and briefcases would be better? I hope someone can help as
we are thinking or getting some new computers anyway for our businesses to
keep them separate from the kids. :-)
Thanks so much again in advance for ANY help or advice.
