Unexpected Restart

My computer keeps restarting and I have no clue why it is doing it. It started a few days ago, where you will be working and all of the sudden it reboots. When it comes back up it asks you if you want to start windows normally. I have downloaded core temp it never gets above 45. I updated my bios, and did a scan for viruses with malwarebytes and it didn't find anything. I checked for windows updates but it doesn't need any. Before it was doing it 3 or 4 times an hour. Since I have updated some stuff it does it about once every 30 to 45 minutes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks for the help.

Whenever my computer restarts it doesn't blue screen. It is a black screen like you are going in to safe mode.

Are you doing anything in particular, when restart happens?

Disable "Restart on error" feature...

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab (Vista: click Advanced system settings).
3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
4. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
5. Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

You may see some error message. If so, post back what it says.

After it scans your computer, navigate to Hardware>Sensors and post all info from there.

Ok so I put the unchecked the box for automatic restart. For some reason now it hasn't shutdown. I download the program and attached the file to show the stats from the sensors.

Also to answer the question. No I am not really doing anything particular. It happens whenever I am on the internet or it can happen when the computer is just sitting there. I haven't found anything in particular that sets it off.

Well, let's wait an see....

I have had my computer running for about 2 hours and it hasn't restarted yet. It also not giving me any error messages either...very strange.

Keep me posted

I have windows 7 64 bit installed. But I think that you are correct on the restart things because it does restart very quickly. The whole situation just freaked me out because it was fine then all of the sudden it just started doing it.

Hello all;

Have a look at this report of problems with the SP1 update. Near the end it mentions problems with NVIDIA Video drivers. The machine that was having the issue has a GeForce FX5900. It is still running stable.

Okay I had my computer running for about 12 hours before it finally did it again. All of the sudden it just restarted very quickly again. I don't know if this is what is causing it but I put my flash drive in copied some files to it and ejected it. As soon as I pulled the flash drive out of the machine it restarted. I don't know if the 2 issues are related or what but that was very odd.

After I made that last post I wanted to try it again to see if it would do it another time. This time whenever I plugged my flash drive in to my computer it shut it down. I have 2 usb ports on the front of my computer and they both do it.

Do you have any USB ports in the back?
If so, can you try them?

I have 4 in the back it didn't do it with any of them.
