Well after having escaped PC problems for a few months..its decided to return..

My computer is randomly *restarting* this time.

The first thing I thought it might be was temperature,so i downloaded SpeedFan and this is the result:



As far as I can see, all the fans are spinning...so maybe it's not heat? I dunno..
I've run antivirus and anti spuware checks and its all good..
I've made no changes at all and it seemed to have started to happen sinse I got back from my two week holiday..

This is really beginning to irritate me, so any help is greatly appreciated.

I've attached my Dxdiag aswell in case you need it.

Right click My Computer -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery -> Settings -> System Failure -> Uncheck "Automatically Restart.

The blue screen might contain some useful info, like driver malfunctions and such.

Uh update. Just had to do a system restore because I was getting BSOD's and real lag issues...hopefully its fixed now..
