My computer restart exact after 5 minutes (problem Solved)
August 18th, 2013
It sounds as if you have a virus, this shouldn’t be happening.
Tell us more about the situation, does it give you a warning that it is going to restart?
What kind of error message is displayed (if any)?
>EDIT
Scratch that, if it restarts even when in bios it’s a hardware problem or possibly an overheating problem, reset your bios settings to default and tell us if the problem persists.

A virus that runs from the BIOS? This will be interesting =D

Not quite sure man, sounds like a BIOS setting, or a hardware problem.
Restore BIOS to default optimal settings.
Anything overheating?
Install the O/S on a different hard drive.
There is no warning or error appears, computer suddenly restarted after 5 minutes.
i have reset BIOS setting as default setting but in vain. I also tried to install OS in other Hard drive but same problem exist.
How can i check that processor is overheating?
There should be a “Health” page in bios that shows temps.
Monitor them and see if they rise.
so it shuts off and reboots by itself
how do you have the power setup, you on a power strip or UPS ?
might be a weak component in the power supply
something that when it heats up (not overheat) it fails
how old a PC ?
got another PSU to try ?
i solved the problem it was due to heat up of processor. i put some paste on processor. now it is working well. thx u all for your suggestions.
