k so im just sitting here in windows on the internet ran a virus check lastnight cleared the unneeded internet files then wham my comp reboots no error msg or nething just reboots processor is 44C hdd are each at 31C
 
What's the event log have to say about it? Look at both the System and Application logs. If they are both clean start swapping hardware.
 
it said its a driver problem but it does not know which driver how do i check those logs are they under the ctrl+alt+del thing
 
When my system was doing this, it was a power issue. I had plugged my CPU cooler into a PSU header marked for FAN ONLY not realizing it was intended for case fans, not the high current CPU fans. This causes the CPU cooler to spin at lower speeds and cause the system to reboot upon entering windows.
 
Pull all expansion cards sans video. Disconnect all drives sans main HDD. If you still get the problem make sure the CPU voltage is correct, if over clocking set it to normal spec.

If it works fine start adding hardware untill the problem happens. What's your PSU rated for? how many watts?
 
I had the same problem. It turned out that one of my memory sticks was not plugged in all the way. I recomend making sure all hardware is securely plugged in.
 
all my stuff is plugged in now its saying its a driver problem on my card but ive rolled back the driver and restarted several times and its not working. its saying there is a ATI RADEON 9600SE driver and a secondary ATI RADION 9600SE driver installed. is the causing it? it said something about an infinante loop being caught in the GPU is this hardware related? or is this actually driver related? ive uninstalled and reinstalled the thing a bunch of times and this still keeps happening
