Hi, I've contacted geekstogo about a computer glitch that wont seem to go away. My laptop will be working fine till all of a sudden itll shut down and restart on its own continuously until I perform a hard shutdown. Other times it will show a blue screen informing me that a physical dump was completed to prevent damage to my computer and to check for either adequate disk space or do a BIOS update. I understand none of this. One suggestion was to run a blaster worm removal tool I downloaded from norton, but it detected nothing. I assumed my laptop was working fine anyway for half a day till i got another blue screen. I first encountered this problem on 6/23/06.

A moderator from the operating systems forum recommended checking in with the malware pros. Any suggestions?
