I would say it points more to a dodgy hard drive. When exactly does it reboot? When loading windows or before it loads windows?

restarting itself for no apparent reason

no warning messages and it's not overheating

will do it just sat on desktop or even during startup

may even be a motherboard failure then. Hard to tell tbh without diagnostics software like pc check.

do the tech guys there actually have a pretty good knowledge of pc problems, or are they just folk with an average computer knowledge?

sounds to me that, going by what you said, that they're encouraged to make it look like the job is a big one and drag it on to make it look like your spending £70 for a big job. </BLOCKQUOTE>

the guy that came to our office seemed pretty clued up and knew what he was talking about, so i think they just faff about at PC world to justify us paying through our arseholes!!
