...that my computer keeps restarting itself at random? I could have just turned it on, told it to turn off, or be in the middle of typing this, and it'll just restart itself.  My godfather said it was a power supply issue, and the woman who gave me the computer and tech support with my sister's computer at school isn't there anymore, so she can't fix it...

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I want to actually get through things here...

By a apple?

Maybe it is getting too old.

I've had that happen, and ours turned out to be a fan issue. It would overheat. I suggest checking that the fan works, or simpler, take off the side and stick a fan to it and keep it running. Thats what mine has currently.

Well, it can't be that it's too old, because I got it in November, and it started doing this in December.

And Tavis, maybe I should do that. But the thing is, I'm not sure how it'd work, since the way my computer table's set up, a fan wouldn't fit.

EDIT: Here are two error messages I just got from my computer's recent random reboot just a few minutes ago:


Also, I'm thinking it might have to do with the AVG Free installed on my computer.  Lately, I get a Windows Security alert saying that AVG 7.5... is turned off, and this seemed to happen more ever since that started to happen a few days back.

A desktop.

you might want to look inside for problems, such as dust, bugs, or loose wires, or faulty/loose connections.
