I inherited a computer from my grandfather. He said it worked fine before i took it. I get it home and turn it on. I delete all the users and create my own and I create one for my wife. I go into my (and adventually her) account user and after 15 seconds it restarts. I managed to restore the computer to an older setting (Feb 2008) and again, it works fine. And again I delete all the previous users and add my own and yet again, the computer restarts when I go into my user. It's a Systemax and I'm running Windows XP. When I used it under my grandfathers name, it runs just fine and it's pretty fast... ANY IDEAS?

I have some ideas you might want to try if your willing.
When I used it under my grandfathers name, it runs just fine and it's pretty fast...
Dont change anything and run it under your grandfathers name. ( Seems to be the most logical solution to me. ) ;D ;D
Format the drive and do a clean install of an Operating system. ( Next most obvious ) ;D
Leave grand dads name there and try just adding you and your wifes accounts, see how that goes for you.
Let us know if it helps. ImnoGuru
