It doesn't reboot. You would be in a never-ending cycle of reboots because the temperature would stay the same pretty much. It may or may not indicate what the problem is, but sometimes it does. Reboots are usually caused by bad hard drives, RAM, video cards, etc Occasionally a bad driver can cause it as well, but most of the time, it indicates a hardware failure of some kind. Switching out known-good parts is the best way to troubleshoot.
You say this is an XP machine, is it very old? Has it ever been blown out? Dust can clog up the fans or heat-sinks suggesting bad or failing hardware, and reducing the useful life span of the computer. Had these issues many times and have wasted a lot of time trying to find the issue, just to find out the power-supply was going bad.
Actually, I have seen machines in the past reboot from a heat issue. Its not common, but has happened. If I remember right, it was an old VIA board that was overheating and rebooting If the memory checks out OK, get a working power supply to test in it. I have seen power supplies do some weird stuff to computers. Reboots, locking, burning out CD Roms Something else to look at would be BIOS. If the settings are off in that, it would reboot as well.
Update all of your drivers from the manufacturers. I had this happen with an HP workstation - turned out to be a windows update. I removed the update and the problem went away. Tried running the update again and the problem returned. Were any updates applied prior to this issue starting? I have had issues with Electrolytic capacitors on some motherboards and power supplies. It seems that between and a large amount were manufactured without an anti corrosive, which means they are prone to failure.
Symptoms are fans running at high speed or randomly rebooting, especially when the processor usage is high. If the tops of the capacitors are beginning to bow outwards then they are failing. This will cause ripples on the power voltage lines. There you will see a box, presumably ticked, which has the description "Automatically restart". Untick this box and click OK. Click OK again in system Properties. Restart your PC. If the PC is "blue screening" it will now pause so that you can write down the details and transcribe them to your new question.
In addition see ZigZag's first reply here We need the type of stop and all the numbers associated with it. You can skip the text the starts "If this is the first time you've seen It's the bits before and after this that we need. Finally, there is a very recent problem that causes your constant reboot symptoms. Do you use Rapport a software package to protect on-line banking on these PCs? It kept rebooting, never getting to sign on stage, I took the steps to get to blue screen, and here is what I have:.
Threats include any threat of suicide, violence, or harm to another. Any content of an adult theme or inappropriate to a community web site. Any image, link, or discussion of nudity. This is what you want. Hit R to repair from there it will look like a normal windows install. See the below perhaps print it. For now only view the screens to match my instructions above. If not then watch the screen to see if there is an F key to enter Boot selection menu.
Some use F10 or F None of the above then get back an we will guide you thru the BIOS boot order. You must log in or sign up to reply here.

Accept Learn More From doing this your computer should now when restarting show the windows error blue screen Sometimes referred to as Blue Screen Of Death and it will have an error code, this is the vital bit of information you want, so write it down and you can do a Google search on the code to see what is causing the problem.
You can also check why your system had a failure by checking the Events log for error messages. On startup you want to enter the computers bios, Del, F10, or F1 are the usual keys to press. Under "PC Health" you can view the temperature.
You will be able to see what the emergency shutdown temperature is. Raise the temperature or shut it down completely. However if this is the problem you may damage your computer by shutting it off and you should get a better cooling system. Check Any programs you have recently installed, do a system restore if you think that is the problem. There are a number, I mean a LOT of reasons why your computer restarts by itself with you not doing anything to it, I have had a similar issue like this before as well.
Well from experience Id like to share what I did to solve the problem. First things first, you need to do is to do basic troubleshooting, this is "standard protocol" for PC issues as mentioned in the earlier post, tick the check mark on the "Automatically Restart" settings of your PC check previous post on how to get to this setting.
If this does not work, did you ever have any other errors aside from your PC restarting? Next is try to check the event log for any errors you have had before again check the post above on how to get to this setting. If this does not work, now try to check the internal components of your system.
