Computer keeps Rebooting

[platyna]

Then try option number two, that I gave you - check the system temperature, since usualy so sudden problems are caused by overheating (or broken memory, or broken graphic card, or broken power supply, but well usualy overheating).

Regards.

You can turn that reboot nonsense off.

1. From the desktop right-click on My Computer.
2. Click the Properties option.
3. In the System Properties window click the Advanced tab.
4. In Advanced click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery.
5. In the Startup and Recovery window uncheck the Automatically restart check box.
6. Click Ok.

EDIT: as you have done that but get a BSOD, could you please post the results of your DXDiagnostics.

To do this ok, open a run box (from the start menu) and type in "dxdiag" (without speech marks).
a window should open, "directx diagnostic tool".
wait for this to collect all the information about your PC (look for the bar in the bottom left), then click the "save all information" button.
save the file, then go to where you saved it and open it up. copy all the information from it and post it here.

Just to discart if it is a Ram fail why don't you try to test your RAM with memtest86

http://www.memtest.org/

Ok, memory is fine. PC temp according to CPU-Z is fine (46 C)

Here is the dxdiag: (FYI - the whole file wouldn't post. Character limitation in forum)
