A few months ago my computer started randomly restarting. It would always occur within the first 5 min. of being on the computer. It didn't happen very often, so I didn't worry about it as much as I should have, but now it is getting VERY bad. It restarts almost immediatly when I first turn on the computer.
It will be loading, and checking the drives, and it will restart, sometimes it makes it to the login screen...and it will restart, sometimes I login, and a right when It finishes loading it will restart.
or
Instead of restarting, the whole screen will just turn blue. No writing or anything, and Ctr+Alt+Del doesn't work, I have to manually restart. This all happens while loading or immediatly after loading also.
and
When It runs the scandisk while loading it freezes half of the time. I will let it run the scans on the harddrives, and when it finishes it will freeze, or I'll press a key to skip the scan and it will freeze.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S WRONG?!?!?!? :( :( :(
My only thought is that my harddrive is going bad. Any chance reformatting will fix this problem?
