My pc keeps rebooting. I first thought it was my cooler, my cpu temperature was at a 60 degrees celsius most of the time, i dusted that and now it's at 50-55 that's about 130 F. So it's not a heat problem. Then i thought it was my RAM, i thought my RAM had bad sectors because my pc kept on restarting after using DC++ for a period of time, DC++ hogs up a lot of memory so that's why i thought it was my RAM.
I stoped using Dc++ and it still kept on restarting. i looked at my watch and noticed that it rebooted at 4:13 am and the next one was at 5:13 am so i'm guiessing that it does this every 60 minutes.
This lead me to believe that a malicious program is doing this. I have scanned my pc with Kaspersky and found nothing, my antivirus is up to date.
I have thought up everything i knew and came up with no results, i'm hoping that you may help me here.

Not really sure about that,sound's strange.Only thing i can think of is set your power setting's to never and see what happen's.Click on start,control panel,performance and maintenance,click power option's. Set the three item's on power scheme tab to NEVER.That's how i have mine set .Good luck maybe you'll get a better idea.

Hello. To check and make sure it's no bad virus or what not, I'd quickly download Microsoft's Malicious Tool Remover. Let it run and if it finds anything will take it off. You may want to get these programs also: Spyware Terminator and AVG's free latest antivirus software. Upon having them installed I'd get updates and have it check your system out. Another good thing would be to go by www.pcpitstop.com and register for a free pc check up. It will yellow flag areas of concern for you to attend to. It's free and has helped me out in times past. Good luck.

You might try un-installing The DC++ and running a registry cleaning program.

Go to download.com and they have a ton of programs which you can try before buying, so at least you can download it and if it works buy it otherwise try something else and if does not work get rid of it. Good luck.
