It must have been excruciating for you clocker.

Doesn't everyone just buy a new computer when a piece of hardware breaks.
If a format and fresh installation of windows doesn't fix it - then it's time to buy a new computer = sage advice

I've gone for weeks, possibly as much as a month without picking a computer apartOriginally Posted by clocker
The withdrawal was killing me, tho'
The longest I've ever had mine running would have been when checking some new hardware-combo with prime, so 24 hours, give or take.
I've played gw for almost as long, as well

My computer reboots itself now if I leave it alone longer than a day. I can't figure out any hardware issues so I have concluded that the thing is just sulking.

Mine has done that twice in the past fortnight.
Only been doing it sonce my last format, so I've concluded it's due to Windows automatic updates. I know you can disable something to stop it rebooting - but I've not yet been arsed to re-find out how.
In fact, I'm sure Bawa has posted an almost indecipherable thread about him having the same problem (pice of sht computre rebot all times) in SoftwareWorld. Might be worth checking out - if only for a laugh.

That might be it. I seem to recall every five minutes my laptop telling me it would reboot itself in 5 minutes and then I would click cancel. This went on for about 6 hours. Whether or not I accompanied each click with "I'm the daddy" I shall leave to your imaginations.Mine has done that twice in the past fortnight.
