Downloading is not hard on the CPU, infact it uses little. Data is just transferred to the hard disk.

Before blaming your motherboard or other hardware try these :-

Right-click My Computer
Click Advanced then Startup and Recovery

Now uncheck the Automatically restart tick box

The next time Windows encounters a major error you'll get a Blue screen of Death rather than just a restart - this often gives you the name of the file thats gone wrong.

That will help incase this doesn't work.

Now when you start your torrent program, use ctrl-alt-delete to enter your task manager. Click the processes tab up top, and look for the name of your torrent client. When you find it in there, right click it, and set it's priority to low.

I would guess it is using too much ram and causing your comp to restart. BTclients use ALOT of ram.

Good luck and let me know how that works!

When I turn my pc off it restarts...

Hello,

I've been having this problem with my pc for months.
Evreytime I turn it off it turns back on, so I've never been able to keep it turned off.
The only thing I've managed to do is to press the start button for a few seconds to turn it off. But when after a while I turn it on, it won't do it. So I have to keep on pressing the start button to turn it off and on until it "wants" to work fine.

Anybody out there who can help me? I'd really appreaciate it!
Thanks.

Computer gets restart again and again

Hi everyone,

When pressing the power switch, my computer successfully opens and fans works fine. I cleaned the interior parts filled with dust but no usual beep sound heard in startup. No display either. Then, after a few seconds (maybe like 5-10 sec), computer closes and starts again. This process happens again and again until I remove the power cord.

May be, there is a problem in my CMOS battery, processor, videocard or PSI. I don't want to assume so I can make a sure decision for my computer. I am a college student and have less knowledge with computers.

Please help!
