My computer decides to restart randomly. It doesnt go through the process of a normal restart, it just shuts off and turns back on. Almost as if you yanked the power out. I have been reading forums about my problem there are a few things that I think it could be. One is that directx 9 is not compatable with my video card. Another being that the compound on my processor is messed up. I took the cpu fan off and cleaned it a few weeks ago and idk if i messed it up then. Or is there something just wrong with my installation of windows xp, if reformatting it will fix the problem. If anyone can help me please i would appreciate it.
