Random Reboots
Well this is the second time it has happened. Now when I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete it only lets me close it by going to the taskbar and it only shows me the programs I have running.
Edit: The first time this happened XP said it was a citical driver error. BTW I do relise I posted in the wrong board... I meant it to be in XP Forum

Did you add any new ram to you PC before this started and I'v heard that the blaster worm virus can make a computer reboot too at random

What is the exact error message you see when the computer reboots? It could very well be the blaster worm.

I dont get an error message... the first time after the reboot it said it was a critical driver error. The second time it just rebooted and didnt say anything.
I didnt add anything to the PC. I have ran the Trend Micro online virus scan though. |

Turn off the auto-reboot so you have a chance to see the error message, then post back here.
