thats what re-formatin does...but last time my comp had a problem like this it was my sound card or zonealarm. do u have on board audio on ur motherboard? if u do take it off and use a sound card and if u have zonealarm take that off as well. for my restarting problem i just took off the sound on the motherboard and used a soundcard and now it works fine..g'luck
