Auto restart?

SillyGirl

if you go to control panel and the n power options do you have any thing like the hard drive or monitor to hibernate??? go to the hibernate tape on top to see if its enable or disable. if its disable Im not suere but a possiblity that some on your IP addy and comming into your puter??? Or maybe you have a power supply overheating problem and the power supply shuts down intermittantly?? I know alot of peeps say they leave there puters on all the time but why??? if your not using the puter as a slavr or a main hub then why not conserve energy and turn it off???? just a thought as i alway turn mine off if I leave the house or go to sleep but its on when im home cause im usually doing some drawings on cad Good Luck

Hi:

I agree with the opinion that computers are supposed to be shutdown while we are not working on them... let's see: not only you will spend less energy as your operative system (in this case - Windows XP) will reload all the programs and information needed... and this is a true time save because your computer will run faster...

But let's focus on the issue:
- if that was provoked by you, don't do it again because each time you do something like that, Windows will accumulate errors...
- if the problem is with the software (like you cannot have access to your Windows) you should use the "System Restore" Tool. It's a good tool for domestic computers and the common user

If you need more detailed info just post again

;)

Maybe some malware has taken over your computer. It can happen.Turn it off when you are not using it. Saves energy! Your E-mail is being saved in a server somewhere. You will still get it.

Go to your start button, then run, a window will pop up. On the line type in msconfig. When the box pops up go to the last tab on the right which should be the startup tab. When that tab opens you'll see a list of your active programs. Go down the list of programs and disable the ones that you don't want working during the time you're not at home. Re-start your computer and this should solve your problem.

some emule's can cause the computer to restart did u try leaving the computer on without the program emule running to see if this still happens?

You might want to try running the Apple Hardware Test(AHT), to check out the hardware. How to run the AHT depends on your computer model, you should be able to find it on apple.com/support


If you find nothing then maybe running Repair Disk from the CD... Link to Directions:

Hope this helps, I used to do technical support for apple... Post back if you still need help...

Or you can check out Apple's discussion boards on their website.
