auto reboot when installing or uninstalling software
Hi
Though not always, but most of the times when I try to install or uninstall legal software my windows7 (see specs below) reboots as the in/uninstall process starts. I checked for viruse/trojans/malware etc with various software and they have found nothing. Trying to go to safe mode doesn't work either. On my computer this should be F8 (for boot menu). But this shows me a BIOS-like screen whereby I'm asked to choose from which Hard drive/DVD I want to boot from. The following keys, Delete, Esc, F2, F8, F10 and F12 do not take me there either. I need to do so manually via msconfig.
I had thought the problem may have been a new Antivirus software I wanted to try WebAware but it wasn't. Their diagnostic tool showed that according to my system log I had many hard drive errors. A windows checkdisk on the other hand seemed to fix nothing. There appeared to be no errors. (Is there another 100% trustworthy similar software to check and fix windows exist?). Regardless the problem continues to exist.
Any advice?
