computer stuffing up (1 Viewer)

[jemsta]

hey guys
recently my computer has been randomly restarting by itself, and i was just wondering what is wrong with it
also i noticed in the last few days that some files are highlighted in blue
what does this indicate?

Files with blue names just denotes that they're compressed. Usually old files that have not been recently accessed will be compressed by Windows to increase disk space.

Random resets can be anything.. can't really get a conclusion based on the info.

check the activity logs. they should tell you where the problem is. in M$ i think you can find them in control pannels -> administrator tools -> computer management -> logs (or similar). in linux look in /var/log/messages.

Regarding random restarts; software issues aside, look into your RAM or even PSU.

Didn't XP have some random shut down virusy thing?
