Spontaneous reboot Dimension E521 w/ Windows 7
I've had the computer for over a year, no problems, and have had windows 7 installed and running fine for a couple months. Yesterday it started to reboot on its own, and is not starting correctly from the reboot. About one in 25 times it will start and run for 3-4 minutes, then reboot itself again. I've unchecked auto restart, and have gone through the startup fix utility that comes up occasionally during the reboot. Doesn't want to system restore more than a couple days ago. Did memory check and it checks out fine. Run Trend micro and c cleaner religiously. Any ideas? THANKS!

I've been going thru that problem for a year now. Try shutting your computer down and unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in and see if it will restart. Sometimes if you can restore it back far enough it will be ok.

Run the Dell diagnostics. Tap the F12 key at the Dell splash screen. Run all the tests.
