Windows 7 Crashes every 2 hours
Whenever I leave my computer on or while I'm playing a game, Windows 7 crashes on me at regular intervals at about 2 hours. Everything shuts off except the monitor, and as soon as I turn the computer back on, it runs for about 2 hrs then shuts off again. Any Suggestions?

What version of windows are you running? is the time and date correct on the computer?

I have a neighbor who complained about his machine shutting down every 2 hours I told him why but rather than let me upgrade (clean installs only) he put the computer clock back a year. rotflmao | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion dv-7 1005 Tx

The RC is still good AFAIK. I didn't know that. I have the 7000 build, thankfully I know now that my cpu is still good. So setting my clock a year back will stop the 2 hour shut down? | | My System Specs | | Windows 7 Crashes every 2 hours problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:12 PM. |  |
