    Hey guys,
    I have been having this problem for a little while now... and at first, I could handle it... but now, it's just too annoying. My laptop will restart?! No errors, no heat issues... just random! I will go to click on a driver install... and it restarts. I can do it again after reboot, and it's fine. It never heats up or bogs during games... just when I click on random things. Help?!

    I really don't want to have to reinstall my OS... I just got a couple of games on there, including HL2 and CS:S, which take hours to install...

    Try going to Control panel > System > Advanced > Startup and recovery settings, and turn off Automatically Restart under System Failure.

    You might get an error message instead of instant reboot now, which could help narrow down the problem.
