My computer rebooted on its own Thursday and when it rebooted it came up with a whole bunch of errors and shut don several services and apps. After rebooting several times with the same problems, I shut it down and cleaned out the computer thoroughly thinking it was a heat-related problem. After doing this, I still had no luck. Another error it gave was the Could Not Write to Memory error so I made a boot disk from another computer with the Windows Memory Diagnostic. I let that run all last night on extended mode and every test failed for only the middle two out of the four memory banks. So, I tried just removing the two memory memory sticks in the middle (I know they're supposed to be paired) just to see what would happen. When I ran the test again with only the outer two sticks installed, it failed all the tests again with both of them. Is this a memory problem, a motherboard problem, or could it just be a virus?
