    Default Computer has a mind of its own......

    ok, i have a problem with my computer, it automatically turns on and off, so does it have a virus or something? is it some type of setting?

    I would probably go play video games or have sex (the usual) - Nominus Experse

    my mom would be like "ve? yo te dije, el internet no es bueno."

    "seriously, my mom tells me "que tu hase en eso el dia entero?" and im like "mami yo toy hablando con people" xD. spanglish, ftw." ~ liz

    Turning itself off is one thing, but turning itself on (assuming it's been off for a while)? Are you sure you actually mean it's restarting itself on it's own?

    You could try right clicking My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery Settings > Untick Automatically Restart, to see if it'll tell you anything useful when it does it

    it shows:

    time to display list of operating systems

    then a time to display recover options when needed


    do i change the times of those or what?

    Phone lines seem more like a dialup connection problem.

    Are there any error messages or beeps before it turns itself off? It might simply be overheating so turning itself off to protect itself.

    My computer keeps recommending to buy Penis enlargement pills! I refused and it went and made the purchase without my knowledge!

    And it ate all of it!
