once a week my computer restarts by itself. it's always late at night when it does it? I do not have any scheduled tasks that would make it do this. I do have windows update but it never updates it tells me when i have updates and i just let them sit there I never update it. so whats up with it? I already thought about heat if its heat why does it only do it once a week late at night? I'm lost on this one. Anyone know?

You should go and get the update, that could be the problem. If automantic update is not working go to the windows update web site and get the update. But before downloading the updates, make sure your computer is clean of spy-ware and virus's.

There are sorts of problems why does a PC restarts itself automatically,sometimes video card does, because the GPU is over heating due to GPU fan is not working properly. the other problem is the CPU and it is the same as the video card problem. better check it, if it is overheating.

I can't say for sure.
When Windows XP does updates by itselft, it sometimes restarts without you telling it to. It is an anoying feature of Windows XP, but its the facts.

Try reconfiguring your auto-updates. You may have it set to download and install without asking.
You didn't indicate if there were any error codes involved. I f there were, it gives you the option of"error reporting".
