Well, my computer is having some issues with the hard disk, so until that is repaired I won't be on here as much. It's a pain, because I had no idea what the problem was; the computer kept freezing and restarting itself during the Windows loading screen. Just at the end of school, as well!
 
I'm sorry to hear this Sam! Computers are great when they work but man it can be expensive when they don't

What kind of computer is it? I have found tons of self help sites using Google to fix my computer. Many offer free downloads.
 
Could be a bad program installed. CPU is getting to hot, Power supply is getting over loaded. If it's not a hardware problem you can try you pc's recovery disc but thats the last method i would take, cause it will re do your whole HD. What were you last doing? Have you tried starting it in Safe Mode? as the computer is booting press and hold your F8 Key to get options for safe mode. If your using Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
 
You're not the only one with PC problems, mine wont turn on. I think the power supply has gone on mine.

You could try to reinstall windows.



That would be that last step i would want to take, if your not sure what the real problem is. It might just be a simple change in the power supply or one of the fans, maybe even just a program installed hogging all the resource's. If it's a hardware problem an your try to reinstall the OS you'll just mess it up even more, since the installation may not finish.



My Two Cents.
