For the past few days my Windows 7 computer would reset to BIOS. No warnings, just BAM! hard reboot of the computer. I've unchecked the box under computer/properties that would Automatically Restart the system on crash. So that's just one thing I've tried in order to try to find the issue...

This one's really got me baffled. In any given session on my laptop, I can load pretty much any installed program, no problem. BUT, if I exit a system intensive program and load another one, either the same program a second time or a different one, the computer crashes on load. Always...

This problem has been happening for quite a few months now. I boot up Windows 7, everything's fine, run some programs for a while (usually Google Chrome) and the taskbar freezes. I click on it and choose to close the program. It restarts and everything's fine for 5 minutes or so. Then, if I try...

Hello all, I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit two weeks ago, and yesterday I started having some trouble: When playing cod4 the computer froze. A couple of hard resets, a driver and bios update later, the computer still froze when entering a game. The screen would start blinking, the...

I'm not very computer savvy, but from what I've read online, I decided to take a gander at the Events log on my windows 7 HP computer. I saw the little red warnings and the red ! marks for everytime I had to do a hard reset with my 3 day old PC. Before every shut down I got this warning...
