Try to find out what's causing it. If you can't, just keep running it in safe mode :( Title: Re: is there a way to keep my p.c alive Post by: walcot red on Friday, April 13, 2012, 14:38:38 Try running it in safe mode.

Is it a laptop or a desktop? It could be an overheating processor, it could be a flakey hard drive, it could be some poor memory. It could also be that the operating system needs reinstalling. Has the laptop/PC been banged recently? has anything come unseated inside? Lots of possible causes.

Think it's an issue with the hard drive.
My solution is quite simple. Turn it on. If it starts rebooting, turn it off, shake it, and try again. After a few rounds of this it tends to work. Then I don't move it for as long as possible and it's fine! Just a pain when I have to take it somewhere, as I then have to go through the whole thing again.

Have you thought about taking the hard drive cover off (on the bottom of the laptop) and checking the connection? If it's loose just push it back in and you will save yourself a whole lot of bother.
