My computer keeps restarting even before showing any display, I have been experienceing Melware issue last week. I can’t even go to safemode by pressing F8 it restarts even before it. Could anyone please suggest it is hardware problem or virus/melware related? Thanks

Re: “Computer keeps restarting without warning”

Hats off to Bryce Whitty for this intel and pointers.

It is more than useful.

One more note; I use to have the same problem with yours, but mine started after I use the Window Blinds crack thing, then my computer restarts repeatedly.
Fixed by fresh reinstall of Windows XP; and now everything is up and running from nearly 3 days of downtime lol.

You had got a macro virus. Reformat your computer to fix it.
Also, try boot into a bootable CD and delete the infected document and the broblem should go away. But try deleting the infected document first, if it don’t work, reformat your computer.

I never get spam in my inbox so when I got an email from ups yesterday I assumed it was legit. I get packages all the time from them. The email said that there was an issue with the address and that I needed to fill out the form atatched to the email and take it up to ups to get the package. My email scanned it and there was no viruses. When I tried to open the document it asked if I wanted to run the software. I clicked yes without thinking. Ever since then my computer will restart for no reason. I think I may have downloaded a virus but I keep running my software to find it and it shows nothing is wrong. What should I do now??
