My XP keeps restarting on its own
My desktop was just recently moved into a new room, and now its restarting unexpectedly entirely on its own! It restarts about, I dunno, every 5-6 hours, and I can't get it to stop. Also, my internet connection has to be repaired every time after it restarts. I checked for a virus, but that wasn't it, so I unchecked the "Automatically restart" box in Startup and Recovery and got the error code from the BSOD. 0x000000c5 (0xFF676984, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x805515A1) That's all of the info I have to give you.
