pc restarts by itself and runs chkdsk

[huien]

Why??? this is really bugging me! I can be happily
working on the pc, and suddenly, it just restarts on its
own! without any commands from me! and to add insult to
injury, i have to wait a gawdawfully long time until it
finishes scanning the disk!!!! HELP!!!

Right click My Computer, click Properties.
Click Advanced tab, click Start-up and Recovery Settings button.
Under System Failure, uncheck Automatically restart.
Next time it happens, there will be an error code, write it down.

And in the mean time....Go into the Event viewer and take a look at what it
reports is the cause of the fault. It usually logs what caused the dump.
