The title says it all.
It started a few weeks ago- my son was playing PC games and out of the blue the computer would go "dead" and then starts again. Since today, the following happens- I start the PC, enter the password, the screen shows the icons, but when I try to open a programme, the PC goes "dead" only to restart by itself. I do not have all the details of the system now, but my OS is Windows XP SP2, I have 2 hard drives, 160GB each and I think 1 GB of RAM. Thanks |

Sounds like a bad installation or heat issue. Try cleaning out them fans first!

Yeah, the three possibilities are usually 40/40/20%:
1. Heat 2. Bad power supply 3. The system is set to automatically restart on BSODs (although this is rare and you'd probably see the BSOD screen for a second)
