Computer Reboots Itself
Computer Reboots itself whenever I try to work with files using Windows Explorer. It does not reboot at any other time. I recently reformatted my hard drive and re installed windows and this problem came back. I use Zone Alarm Pro for firewall and Nod 32 Anti Virus. I have also scanned my computer for Rootkits.

I tried a repair before I re fomatted my hard drive.
I'd run tests on your memory.

Also, check your hard drive for errors. Right click on the drive letter in my computer, then properties, Tools tab, then error check.
Here's a utility that will also check for errors on the drive.

Hello
I assume you know how to remove the ram from the motherboard.
Clean the RAM(copper legs) by using the erasure.
Clean also the motherboard RAM slots by using a plastic brush.
Insert it again after cleaning. Test.
Also make sure hard drive cable are properly inserted.
If you have an extra motherboard power supply, replace it to test.
Great is our GOD.

It took me a long time to figure out how to run the memory test. I was able to do that and my computer passed the memory test.
The link you sent to check my hard drive is a program to install a Western Digital Hard Drive.
Should I use CHkDsk or something else.

I followed your instructions. When I opened my files my computer tried to reboot and then went to a blank screen with the mouse that would not move.
However, while I was following your instructions I got this error message trying to be sent to Microsoft.

I checked my hard drive but the steps you outlined. It took a really long time to run. At the end it said the Volume is clean.

do u think I still should clean my ram even though it passed the memory test? My motherboard is only 2 months old. My memory sticks are probably used; they came from the store that rebuilt my computer.

Could checking my drive fix this problem? It doesn't seem to be rebooting now when I work with files. I want to give it a little time to be sure.
