Haven't a clue what all that stuff means. A computer that restarts "out of nowhere" is usually due to a failing power supply. Test the power supply first.

[legend2b4]

I have had this error numerous times on different disks. Usually it indicates a failing HD. It could be simply some bad blocks or sectors on the disk or it could indicate corrupt data on the drive.

Do you get any other errors in the event log?

Try running chkdsk/f on the drive and see if that fixes the problem. If chkdsk doesn't give any fixes you may be able to format the drive and reload the OS.

Tried fdisk but nogo, and i dont really want to reinstall windows, at least not to end up in the same, have you got any luck with it. Having the computer restart any sec is a real pain.
