Why windows xp just turned off and then just restarts, repeatedly?

Help, please! No apparent reason my pc under xp, everything stops and restarts. WHY?

There could be several reasons.  Assuming that when she stops seems to be totally random and not caused by a particular program, the most likely cause is overheating.  Download and run ' CoreTemp"which will display your CPU temperature.»  You will see if it's not too hot.  If it turns out that you have a temperature problem, the two most common causes are a CPU fan that has stopped work and excessive dust inside the machine that coats the components and inhibits cooling.   Open your file and get. / clean the dust bunnies.

Other causes include bad RAM.  While you are there, replace the RAM modules.

    He died... the fact that the main witness turns off is unusual in this model.

    It is common to the next... A1409 (gen4)

    What happens in the Gen3 is normally a few deaths on the Board... or a bunch of capacitors is low...

    See s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem

    If yours is a very fine introduces Gen3 just before Gen 4, it is possible that the same fix on the Gen 4 could work.

    s/Apple-time-capsule-repair/GEN4-a1409-issues https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem

    I found early Gen4 may fail as Gen3 but must admit that I am yet to see the Gen3 with welding problems.

    I doubt repair is worth it. The Gen3 is now about 6 years... give or take... This is way beyond the standard lifetime of a TC.

    If you want to play, I'm happy to help you... but I would not spend money on it.

  • WiFi turns off and then don't come back

    I have a new (30 days) Macbook Air, but suffers more and more the following problem: for reasons I can not determine, the Wifi turns off. When I try to turn it back on, it will not go back. The only way to let him back on is to restart the Mac. Sometimes, when I reboot, it takes a long time to restart, sometimes not. But once it restarts, Wifi is back.

    Thoughts?

    Wi - Fi is really turning itself off?

    If this is the case the icon Wi - Fi in your Mac's menu bar looks like this

  • HP Photosmart premium c310, Windows 7 (64 bit) series will not work afterit is turned off and then on again

    I have photosmart all-in-one c310 printer and whenever we have a power outage, the printer will not print at startup power upward. I have spend hours trying to download drivers or updates and check the printer that says it's fine and the computer that says it can't find the driver. The last 2 times I finally got running again, but I did something different every time and I don't remember what it was. I just spent 2 hours on a hamster wheel keeps back me for a download, after you download it twice, I finally understood was the SAME download (the 3rd time I was directed here) and the printer STILL does not work. I'm pulling my hair out and I'm about to throw this worthless piece of scrap metal by the window. Help!

    Are you connected wireless? If so, you will need to reconnect the printer to the network of the SCW wireless on the printer itself. When you have power, he can hit just the printer off of the network from the router and just reconnect.

  • Restarting the computer automatically on its own. You never know how long the computer stays on. Your work and it just turns off and then return.

    I had a problem with my AcerPower F2 Windows XP Professional. You will work and it stops just and restart on it. What could be causing it to do this? A virus? I use this computer a lot for school I hope its something fixable. He has had this problem for at least two days that I am aware. Not sure when its going to do this again, its really hard to get anything done when you don't know how much time you have. This will be repeated this unexpectedly, without warning. It will work for awhile then do it again, back and fourth. I can't put up with this, I hope that someone out there has an idea. Thanks much :-)

  • Computer hangs on reboot must turn off and then restart windows vista 64-bit, how to fix startup log?

    Original title: computer hangs on restrting have to swich to then restart windows vesta 64 bit how to fix startup journal

    Restart the problem have disc windows do not know how to make a boot fix

    Hi John McAvoy,.

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) you get an error message?

    I want to clarify if this happens when you start Windows after logging in or before opening a session on windows.

    Method 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the mouse and keyboard > restart the computer and check

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Thanks and greetings

  • T420 screen turns off and turn it back on when the AC adapter / CC is attached or removed

    You are working on your machine, staring at the screen and the power failure... Yes - something quite common in these parts of the world... but no worries, the screen darkens slightly according to the diet plan and you hardly notice. Then, when the backup generator kicks in and the power is activated again, the brightness of the screen is back to your usual setting. Meanwhile, it is not a gene. Right?

    Well, that's what should happen... except that most of the time it doesn't work! Most of the time, the screen turns off and then turns on remove the main power and reinstall it. Note that this never happened once with T61 or T41p.

    Initially, I assumed it was because I had an external monitor attached... maybe it was to reconfigure something there? But then, it happens even without the external monitor. Then, I tried looking for the video driver updates... maybe this bug had been fixed to the... no luck there.

    So, finally, after having known this more often now, I thought I would get feedback from you all. Any advice?

    Check the Intel Media profile with the power settings. If a battery is "Maximum economy" mode then it should be in Exchange for 50 Hz to 60 Hz... Change it to balance or maximum Performance and see if its ever-changing from 50 Hz to 60 Hz...

    If all else fails, try updating the video driver, it might be a bug in the previous version of the driver.
