    Specs? Include what operating system you are using.

    Have you updated your computer recently? Installed any programs or made any hardware changes recently?

    Do you see any error message or error screen before it reboots?

    If you are running Windows, it is possible a blue screen is flashing with error information, and then restarting right away.

    If you disable the auto-restart, then try getting the info from the error message and searching for it. You should find some information about correcting it.

    Nothing he posted indicates a virus.


    Ok also aside from what OS and version your running what browser(s) are you running. Also do you have additional toolbars/search bars installed?

    I would suggest removing all toolbars/searchbars then reinstalling your web browser(s) then letting us know if the problem is still persisting. Also

    Also try restoring from a restore point before this issue appeared as it could be other software you loaded/corrupted files. If its corrupted files the above part should fix your DL issue, then you just have to reinstall command prompt, which depends greatly on what os/service pack etc your running.

    So you're telling me there aren't any viruses out there that randomly reboot your computer? Ok.
