Hi. the inlaws PC is playing up, with spontaneous reboots on the odd occasion. PC soft reboots with no errors (desktop -> bios straight away), often with a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" message. After a while, it would not boot up- I assumed this confirmed my suspicions of a dodgy power supply. I replaced it.
Now with a new PS it boots up fine etc, but stil random reboots. Things I've tried to track problem:
Memtest is great for 4hrs plus, no errors.
Installed SP3 (I was kind of trying to get it proper broken here) all fine
Scandisk on reboot, all fine.
AV or Spyware run will trigger a reboot at random times, but no spyware/virus reported (of course, the scan doesn't finish though)
I think it may be a software issue- spyware/virus, or Windows system errors?
Or a HDD on the blink?
Any ideas please folks?
Thanks.
