basically i have a problem with my computer, to you all pros out there please help :down:
I bought a packard bell desktop computer two years ago.
In the last couple of months, it started rebooting itself quite frequently. I started to notice a pattern in this rebooting problem, it would reboot itself after approximately 20 minutes.
I formatted the hard drive thinking it could be a virus problem. Computer became normal for about 1 week until the problem re-appear again, only this time is more severe, the computer would just switch itself off.
Thinking it could be an inconsistancy in power supply I checked the power socket and the power supply and they seemed to be fine - working well with other electronics.
I went as far as thinking this could be down to ventilation problem so I move this computer to a well ventilated area with extra fans blowing and side panels removed but nope.
The hardwares shouldn’t be incompatiable as they were factory installed, I did think that certain after-market softwares may not be compatible with the computer so I deleted it all.
But the problem still presists, do you think I should perform a low level format to clear potential virus hidden away in the registry?
what does this problem sound like to you?
