I am running Windows RC 7 with Weather Display. A personal weather station is connected via a USB port. Weather Display collects the information from the weather station via a data connection and then posts it to a website for viewing from any web browser. As such, the computer is left on 24/7. However, the computer now reboots almost daily between 0300 - 0430. This interrupts the flow of weather information updating the weather site. The computer is a brand new Dell Studio Hybrid with 4 gig RAM. No additional software was installed other than what comes with the computer except for a firewall and antivirus program which have been successfully used on the previous computer with the same Weather Display software. In addition, it was successfully operating properly with Windows Vista before installing RC7. Ensuring updates have been installed, but issue continues.

No, updates are turned off so I can review and select which updates to install. I do not need the language updates, etc. Also, I didn't want it rebooting for the updates, so another reason they are off. Thanks

Try checking in 'event viewer' to see what action seems to be triggering the restarts. Chnaces are that it will indicate that 'a restart was initiated by....'. The fact that this happens "almost daily", but during the same time frame. would indicate that something, perhaps in the 'scheduler,' is causing this.

If you have a rediculously long time set between when your computer starts going idle and when it goes to sleep - it may be BSOD'ing and rebooting consistently in that time frame. Make sure you've got sleep and hibernation completely disabled.

kites0852,Which anti-virus program are you using? Several existing ones don't play nice with Windows 7...

kites0852,Did you ever get this resolved?
