Computer keeps restarting

My Computer keeps re-starting itself. This usually happens after about being
on for 2 and 1/2 hours. I have the power settings at always on.

Hi Jim

Any error messages to work with?

If you don't see any error messages, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under Startup and
Recovery and disable 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC reboots,
you should see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code from the
BSOD?

Also, please have a look in the Event Viewer to see if any entries there may
refer to the problem.

Hi

The Blue screen will appear when the PC reboots/restarts itself. BSOD =
Blue Screen Of Death. The Stop Code will be on the Blue Screen in this kind
of format:

0x0000000a(0xa9fdf90c,0x00000002,000000000,0x804ee d80)

If you please post the number that is in front of the leading bracket. To
find the Event Viewer type the following from StartRun:

eventvwr.msc

Then click on the icons in the left hand column and if any errors are
mentioned. If there are any could you please post the Source and Event ID?

I have the same problem. Here is the event viewer report:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x100000d1
(0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xf721970f). A dump was saved in:
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini120805-01.dmp.

Any help?

I am having same issue with my mom's laptop. It is older Dell Insperion but
was delivered with XP. First time I boot it runs for maybe 1/2 hour. Then
BSOD occurs at random and it begins rebooting automatically. (I will disable
auto reboot as described in previous post so i can read msg! ) Then intervals
between subsequent BSOD's becomes shorter and shorter. Until eventually PC
starts to reboot before it has finished previous boot up and goes into this
loop indefinitely.

I will post again with error msg on BSOD. Thanks

I am experiencing same problem. My laptop wont even complete booting up
before BSOD appears. It will run in safe mode though. Here is what My BSOD
says:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart yor
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is propoerly installed. It
h this is a new installation, ask you hardware or software manufacturer for
any windows updates you might need.

I f problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as cashing or shadowing. I f you
need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer,
press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select save mode.

Technical information:
*** STOP: 0X000000D1 (0X0A2B001B, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XF3E0F91A)

*** tcpip.sys - ADDRESS F3E0F91A base at F3E0C000, DateStamp 3b7dc580

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator (me LOL!) or technical support group (you
guys LOL!) for further assistance.

Let me know if any of the above tells you anything that can help me resolve
my issue. I wouldl really appreciate it. Thanks.

My computer has the same problem. It keeps restarting itself, sometimes
before it even loads. I get error reports, and when I send them a new webpage
opens saying something about the error report being corrupted due to a
serious problem with my hardware. The steps say to go to remove any new
programs I've installed, but not only will the add/remove programs thing not
load, but I haven't even added anything new to my computer for at least 6
months now! And by the time I try to get through reading the whole
instructions on fixing the problem, my computer restarts again. I am writing
this message on a laptop. Please help ! Thank you !
