I downloaded the TrojanHunter,,, installed it but was unable to run a full scan before my computer reset itself.

The resseting is becomming out of control,,, When i turn my computer on it *sometimes* gets all the way into windows but when i go to do sumthing it resets. And from this point it keeps resetting and im lucky if i can get back into windows...

Also sometimes it starts and the resolution is apauling,,, The only option in the setting for this is 800x600 on 16 bit...
I dont understand...
I started it in safemode aswell and it still reset on me,,, Does this mean the problem could be hardware?

I wasnt sure whether to skip the trojanhunter step for now and try and do the fixes in the hijack log first see if it makes a differnce.

Thanks for your time

sure, do the hijackthis fixes now ,

i was able to run hijack this again,,, I fixed all the above you asked,,,
Atm, it is saying that windows needs to be activated before i can log in...
It keeps resseting on me now,,, at the loding windows screen,, were the 3 blue sqaure move along the loading bar... 95% of the time i am unable to pass that point.
If i do pass it i cant do anything as it wont log into windows unless i reactive.

Really ,don't see anything that i had you remove to cause that ,
I seen that just reciently and forget how i got past it .can you click on anything to to get to activate it .I remember click on something!! think think .is ther a like to phone the activation !!

can yo uget to safe mode ,hitting f8 on bootup ,if yes run hijack this ,go to config/backups ,check off all you removed and click restore

As this was my mums bussness computer and it was needing to be up and running asap i ended up buying another Hard drive. I was in the middle of reinstalling windows and the computer reset on me just as it had before.

This really pissed me off as i just bought a new Hard Drive and now it looks to be a Hardware issue.

I Ripped the whole thing apart to suss out the hardware and noticed a resistor in the power suply that had a burnt look to it. I went out and bout a new case with power supply and ran the new hard drive with the old motherbord and the thing still reset on me.

I swiched the ram from another computer (computer 2) into the one we have been working on (computer 1) and the ram from computer 1 into computer 2.

Computer 2 then camn up with alot of missing files and on occation resets randomly and was running fine before i swiched the ram.... and computer 1 hasnt reset yet and is running fine with the new hard drive and different ram....

Is it possable that the ram could of been causing this problem? And then transfered the problem to computer 2?

Sure sounds like it .
