Re: Computer restarts for no reason

Andy

Try it again but do what follows first.

I suggest you Disable automatic restart on system failure. This
should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly.
Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select
Properties, Advanced, StartUp and Recovery, System Failure
and uncheck box before Automatically Restart.

Enable automatic restart on system failure after you have captured /
copied and pasted the message in a further post here.

Have you tried running your anti-virus programme in safe mode?

How many copies of atmadm.exe do you have? What are the file
versions, dates and locations?

Hope this helps.
