... my comp seems to be encountering one problem after another! Man, it's frustrating. Anyways,
I recently completely reinstalled Windows XP, because my computer was corrupted. And I mean REALLY corrupted.
Anyway, when I first logged in to the computer after the reinstall, I noticed all signs of the virus had gone away. In fact, everything seemed to be working normally.
Then, I went to Properties to change my computer desktop and adjust everything (resolution, etc) to the way it was before.
I was only on for a few minutes when suddenly, the computer rebooted. I didn't really worry about it, but I started to figure something was up because now, every time I log on, the computer is fine for about ten seconds, then the pointer mouse changes to the 'thinking' position, then suddenly by itself, the taskbar switches to Windows 2000 style... I don't know why. Then, the desktop changes to a plain blue background. A few seconds later, you hear the computer turning itself off, and then the computer reboots.
This problem seems to happen at basically the same time every time I turn on the computer.
I think it may have something to do with a failing RAM chip, or something to do with the power supply. Anyone got any good advice?
Thanks,
