PC with Windows 7 reboots every hr or so

**EDIT** sorry i mistakenly pushed enter while typing and couldnt update the thread title.. sorry

Hi,
i have had windows 7 64bit version installed for a couple months on my pc, and these 2 days it's kept rebooting. it goes off (no shut down message, it all happens all of a sudden), and after a second or 2 the machine boots up again. before loading the os the pc prompts me to choose if i want to start windows normally. i press enter and windows starts up with no problems at all. when a system error occurs, after rebooting it usually notifies me that the system was recovered from an error. but it displays no message.

now, my question is this. i heard that before the coming out of the windows seven final version, microsoft would have you install an update that reboots your machine every 2 hrs to "suggest" people buying the os... how kind of them, really... whatever, is this possibly the case? if this is, i guess i gonna downgrade to windows vista till i can buy windows 7...

MS had the auto shutdown in the beta version. to find out what version you have typr winver in search. If it says 7000 thats the timebombed beta if not then its not the couse

if his windows has never detected any errors there won't be a Minidump folder. on the other hand J0nDaFr3aK, can u do a search for any files ending .dmp and zip up and post those up instead?

also, i believe 7100 expires 2-3-2010. now is that 2nd march or february 3rd, lol?
