IE ramdomly stops and I'm back at my desk. Sometimes, the computer restarts even.
I'll be on a website and my internet connection is lost and the next thing that happens is that I'm back in my office. Sometimes the computer just turns off and restarts without warning. I have automatic updates of Windows and have troubleshooted my drivers.
Before trying a bunch of things to try that might work sometimes maybe, it makes sense to get information about your system and run some scans for malware and THEN start troubleshooting any problems.
If your system is restarted, you must set up so that it does NOT restart automatically when there is a problem and tell you what the problem is, or at least give you some clues. Here's how:
XP is configured to restart automatically on some system failures, you will need to disable this feature for the information of the blue screen of death (BSOD) will remain on the screen for you to see. You must also configure XP to create a memory for each BSOD dump file, so you'll have a crash dump file to watch later if debugging more is necessary.
If your system crashes later, the information you need will always be on the screen and then you can use the information in the dump files memory to understand what the problem is and fix it.
Disable automatic restart in case of system error
XP restarts on system failure, so automatically configure your system so it does not, then you can see the error message.
Configure your system does not automatically restart on system failure and to create a crash dump file when it crash.
Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings.
In the system failure section:
Put a check mark in the box "write an event to the system log.
Put a check mark in the box "send an administrative alert.
Uncheck 'automatically restart '.
In the Write debugging information section select:
Partial dump (64 KB)
Set the directory small dumpster:
%SystemRoot%\Minidump
Click OK, OK to save the settings.
Restart your computer and wait for the next reboot/crash.
Now for the fun part:
Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
What is your Internet browser and version?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:
These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run. SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them. Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.
In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses. Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day. Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
Option 4: You can download updates from the Microsoft Download Center or the Windows Update Catalog

If you back up battery is faulty, and when you shut down the computer, the machine doesn't have enough 'juice' to operate. Thus, when you restart it, time will show either bad timing or outright from the date it was setup to the factory.

MY VAIO LAPTOP(VGN-CR353) RANDOMLY STOPS AND TAKES MORE TIME TO START. SOMETIMES IT STOP WHEN STARTING
It seems that the laptop may be overheating. Are you sure there is enough air past for laptop? Make sure that it is on a flat surface, with nothing to obstruct the ventilation openings. Make sure that the vents and fans and heat sinks are free from dust - examine their blowing with compressed air (power of the system first, of course). Depending on the laptop model, it may be relatively easy to blow off the dust with compressed air, or otherwise clean up things a bit. Fans should be kept up well - only no right turn when being ripped off. My Dell laptop has a removable fan (two small screws need to be removed) that can easily be blown. This also allows access to the fins of the heatsink.
Some laptops also have a removable filter that traps the dust and must be regularly inspected and cleaned.Are all the BIOS settings for the adjustment of the temperature, the value lower than the manufacturer's recommendations and the default values (you need to check the manual of your laptop for this). Also make sure you run the latest version of BIOS (again, the manual of your laptop would have the details; the manufacturer's website should also have this information).

I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?
Hi KevinRy,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
Unplug all external devices.
Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.
Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:
1.
Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
2.
Click the Advanced tab.
3.
Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
4.
Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
5.
Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.
Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.
Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.
Kind regards
