Disconnect your computer from wall current before starting.
Issue one - Over heating: insure that computer is clean on the inside, all fan blades are clean, no dust on any parts inside the computer
Issue Two - RAM - (DISCONNECT COMPUTER) Remove RAM and re seat it.
Issue Three - Keyboard - turn on system. After windows is running,
press every key on the key board.
Issue Four - possible failing power supply.
Before purchasing a new power supply, I would reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows. Must have Windows installation disk with registration code.
Disconnect system from Internet, Put Windows CD into CD/DVD drive, Select New installation. Delete all partitions.
Create two partitions, first the larger, second one = 20 GB.
Install windows in 20 GB partition. Install motherboard drivers and utilities. Install all software and printer drivers. Install anti virus and firewall. Then, connect to Internet, go to www.microsoft.com, update and update your system.
If system still shuts down, install New Power Supply, 500 watts or more. Do not buy a cheap power supply!

lot of possibility is there.
Is there any warning before restart ?
Check the event viewer.
From the software side you can do two things
1, Run "CHKDSK C: /F" - this is to repair the HDD
2, Update anti virus. and windows
From the hardware side you can do two things
Pls try it after checking soft wares.
1, Change the RAM and try
2, if not it is the problem either with MB or SMPS. That u have to check with a good one
Good luck

appears like someone proper the incorrect plug to the pins from the front panel buttons on the motherboard. There are a collection of pins in a good number of cases close to the nook opposite the ports. in case you seek for for your pcs motherboard, you will discover the the finest option pin decision. If that doesn't artwork, then i might want to wager the plug from the front panel is mis-categorised, (had this once) and is proper wisely yet on the incorrect pins.

one common reason is that Microsoft XP downloads its updates. Then it reboots afterwards. So if you are always on line at work that would explain it.
Other than this reason, it is a problem with the PC.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
