Computer restart due to overheating


Trouble:


We have received lot many problems from our readers complaining that their computer restarts abruptly. It seems like that the computer restarts without any reason, but it is not so, every-time your computer restarts abruptly, there must be some or other reason that you might not have noticed.



In this post we will look into those reasons and the possible solutions to fix computer restart problem. So lets have a look at the possible reasons:


Computer restart due to overheating 
Computer restart due to faulty RAM 
Computer restart due to faulty Hard-disk 
Computer restart due to overheating up of hard-disk 
Computer restart on attaching some external USB device 
Computer restart due to other hardware problem 
Some software causing operating system crash causes computer restart 
There may be some rare typical reasons also, but let us focus on these common reasons and lets have a look on how to fix computer restart problem because of above reasons.




Going one by one, lets see how these problems can be fixed:



Computer restart due to overheating: 



Computer restarts due to over-heating when the processor fan goes faulty. 


Computer restart due to faulty RAM:


Computer restarts abruptly if RAM goes faulty, or if you install some in-compatible RAM or more than one RAM modules of different frequency or type
Computer restart due to faulty Hard-disk: 



Faulty hard disk is one of the most common reasons for abrupt computer restart. Run a hard disk scan to fix this issue. If there are bad-sectors on your hard-disk, its the time to get it replaced. 





Computer restart due to overheating up of hard-disk: 



If there is not proper ventilation around your computer, the hard disk may also reach temperatures where it starts to malfunction and computer restarts in some of these cases. The fix is to keep the computer at a ventilated place. Also installing some cabinet fans also solves this problem to big extent.





Computer restart on attaching some external USB device:  


I have experienced that when I attached my memory-card-reader to my computer, the computer restarted. I tried it again, it again re-started, it was not a co-incidence, it was a faulty device. So the fix is, remove all external USB devices and insert one by one, and see which device is causing problem.



Computer restart due to other hardware problem: 



Computer restart problem is also caused by faulty motherboard sometimes,for example my desktop’s BIOS went corrupt a few weeks back. But the chances of motherboard are relatively low, so if nothing else seems to help, get the motherboard checked by hardware vendor or technician.


 Some software causing operating system crash causes computer restart:



Sometimes a software can also be the culprit behind the computer restart. If you have recently installed any new application or game, and computer has started to restart when using that application or game, you need to un-install it to fix the issue.



Please leave your comments for more reasons that you have discovers for computer restart problem.

Removing virus manually in windows XP


Beginning of that:


Start->Run->type cmd
in each drive type attrib /s /d it will display the list of all files in that drive along with folders.concntrate on files having SHR attribute.normally virus files have two characteristics
1.SHR attribute
2.Queer name like amvo.exe,r6r.exe,autorun.inf etc.


Note:some system files also have this attribute like MSDOS.SYS,IO.SYS etc so before deleting googling about that file will help.


to delete these files type c:\>del /f /s /a <filename with extension>


>> to view the content of files with .inf,.vbs,.c etc i.e files which r not batch files or executables.goto explorer n then goto the required drive or folder n type the filename with extension it wil open up in notepad.


>>there is another method also.goto the required location n type attrib -s -h -r filename
then use gui to see that hiiden file.if it is not n exe or .bat or then open it with notepad.Here you will get some information like a file name or a registry key which the virus affects or a startup item or process.Change this or uncheck the startup.


if file is not deleted like it says access denied it means it already used by some process.open task manager n find a process of the same name or some process which is not a valid windows process(better google) n end that process.


if not found open msconfig goto statrup tab n look at if a startup items seems queer(u wil have this feeling if u r n experienced windows user otherwise all da startup items may seem queer.)uncheck that.u may also learn about da startup item by googling.after unchecking restart the computer then restart the computer.


This method is effective in removing some spywares or some small but annoying virii like maskrider etc. which r sometimes not detected by antivirus softwares.


You pepoles wont blve i nvr formatted and reinstalled my os or hard drive due to Virus. Evn when i was noob :o Appr. 90 % i used to clean it manually and by now i am an expert in it.. yes google helps alot in findings a particulr file..


Best method to delete obstinate viruses is WINRAR 


Just open winrar and goto ur infected drive ane here you can see all hidden and persistent files.. Delete such files from here (Easy and far better than dos prompt)


One more thing if you want to remove the virus or worm of an infected pen drive then dare it to do as i do..
First of all kill your explorer from process tab in Task manager..
Now goto "NEW TASK"
and locate winrar ..
now insert pen drive in usb and come pen drive icon in winrar. And here you will find some Autorun.inf , powerpointresentation.exe , krar.vbs etc. Just enter " Shift + Delete "


Then u r talking about virus which is already entered in pc. Not the pen drive.. Isnt it?
~!~ fist of all check startup from Msconfig..dlte ny suppicious entry.
~!~ Now note downthe name of virus from winrar.
~!~ Goto registry editor and search for it. Del all the entries.
~!~ Also check in sytem32 for suspicous file..
now repeat the winrar procedure on all partitons of Hdd..


Goto Registry editor >>> Current user >> software >>> microsoft >> windows >> Current version >> explorer >> ADVANCE --- Now in Right window >>
Check "Hidden" should have 1 value
"Show super hidden" should be 0 value and "Super hidden should have 1


Now come to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >>
>>SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden


here you will see Two sub menu NOHIDDEN and SHOW ALL
come to No hidden and now in right pane make sure CHECKED and DEFAULT values are 2
come to Show all and make sure Checked value is 1 and Deafult value is 2 .


I am assuming that you have basic knowledge of Xp that's why i explained 
in favour of brevity.... Enjoy and if you are still unable then 500% its your fault
in following my all steps from win rar to Registery coz i have immuned Dozens of
PC manually from the same way...

Basic computer maintenance to optimise windows



Basic computer maintenance
Some simple maintenance every 2-4 weeks (depending on computer use and programs installed) will only take 10-30 minutes, can be performed at any knowledge level and will keep your computer running smoothly. With this guide, and two downloads, you will see a noticeable improvement. This is fairly basic and something all computer users should do....


Remove programs you no longer use or knew about:
Over time, you may have installed games or utilities that you forgot about or no longer use. Why waste the space? Go to your control panel, Add\Remove programs and uninstall anything you no longer use.

step 1: click start then settings then click control panel



step 2: then look for add and remove programs then open



step 3: then remove apps/ programs that u dont use 

Cleaning your hard drive of unneeded files:
One of the biggest problems is hard drive useage. Your hard drive has more moving parts then any other in your computer and is constantly adding, deleting and reorganizing files. Because of this, you want to clean your computers hard drive. A great tool for this is CCleaner

link::: Click Here !!

Remove invalid registry entries:
Next up is the registry. Frankly, the registry is overrated as a speed tweak, in general, but it does get large and can contain many invalid references. The registry is not an area for even the average computer user to be playing around in. The good news is CCleaner has a safe registry cleaner built in, so why not clean out old, invalid entries?




Startup items:
See all those icons in the lower right corner of your screen? Those are all being loaded on startup, and those are not all of them either! If your wondering why you have to wait a minute to use your computer after startup, it is because all of those items are loading after Windows has started. They also use up memory just sitting there. Removal takes a bit more knowledge, or research, then the previous two, but you can do it!

First off, if you know what these items in the tray are and do not need them running, you can either right click an icon and look for options or a "run with Windows" option. Otherwise, you can double click any icon to open the program and look for options from there. Some are easy and common. Quicktime, AOL and RealPlayer are good examples of items that do not need to be there.

CCleaner also has a startup manager. Click tools, then startup. You can delete any unneeded items from there. Be careful, there is no backup, so either look up the program on Google or ask on our forums if you want to know what an item is for. Because the startup loads drivers and some programs you may need, be careful removing items you are unsure of.



Defragment your hard drive
Now that you have removed all of this garbage, you have defragmented files all over your hard drive. Reading and writing data on a heavily fragmented hard drive is slowed down because the time for the heads to move between fragments on the disk surface can be substantial. The files on your hard drive now probably look like a box of tacks after I open them and toss them on the ground.Defragmenting your hard drive would be like the box of tacks still sealed. All neat and tidy and easy to get at.
