my pc keeps restarting itself quite frequently now, it always seems to be whenever im watching media or if im not, programs will start to close and get error reports and then it will restart. can anyone please help me, its really starting to get to me now.

thanks, phil

Possible virus? I'd suggest a hijack this log posted in the appropriate forum

Change this setting in order to get full error messages & post back in full.

rt. click My Computer then click Properties then Advanced then Startup and Recovery Settings then unclick Automatically restart

Also: look in your event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for X errors. Click error line for details. Post back the source & event id especially of errors that seem to coincide with a crash.

ok, so i done the auto restart thing, thanks for that! and as far as the errors go, there is a lot of them!

most of the errors in the application tab seem to be application error, system id 1000 this particular application is called anti copy.exe, i havent got a clue what this app is???!!! a lot of them are internet explorer aswell though, however this didnt bother me that much cos i am currently using mozilla firefox.

in the system tab there is a couple of one-offs:

DCOM, event 10010 and
ntfs, event 55
irevents, event 8205

but most of them are:
Service control manager, 7034/7031/7023
System error, event 1003

thanks a lot btw, i hope u can sort this out

seeing this:

copy.exe (Salga.a Worm) - Details

I would suggest this:

please follow owen's Instructions and then post your log in the Spyware, Adware, Viruses and HijackThis Logs section (Not Here).

I will look into those other errors in a bit but they seem benign.


Let us know the full error if you get another Blue Screen.
