Norton antivirus allows you to put it in the cd drive, boot the computer and run a virus scan without windows.<br /> If this doesnt work for you or the scan comes back clean, you may have to re-install your operating system. Either way, i would start backing up essential files. </p> Gospelpsalmist on "My Computer Restarts Itself, How Can I Stop This?" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/my-computer-restarts-itself-how-can-i-stop-this#post-44735 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 01:14:48 +0000 Gospelpsalmist 44735@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hello,<br /> I am having an annoying problem. My computer restarts itself. The last time it happened was this morning whwn I was doing some listens on My Space Karaoke site. I have Optimum Online Triple play with offers free CA security which is what I have, but when I run the virus scan, before it is over my computer restarts itself even if I run it in safe mode. I disable the auto restart on system failure but it still restarts itself at times. Like when I am looking at a You Tube type video or on my karaoke sites. I have Windows XP Home Edition. Can someone help me please? Thank you in advance.</p> <p>~Martha~ </p>
