do you mean reboot or actually just turn off and turn back on?

i don't think that's going to help.

it reboots. isnt it the same thing reboot and restar? it just booms! everything shuts down and comes back againg with the boot screen.

have u tried scanning your computer for viruses?

sounds odd. did you recently download any low-sized executables? did you get the latest updates for your OS (to fix any potential vulnerabilities)? did you get some new software this month? do you get a message before the pc reboots?

also, weird thing is that, when you shut down your pc, it shuts down all apps and that should let bearshare save the currently downloading files. see below

you could try alternatives to the gnutella network (limewire, shareaza, gnuapp...) if bareshare fails to function

okay, so everything turns black and you get the boot screen. this might be caused by a bug in bearshare (i made my own windows system do that with a simple vb program) or by some physical damage to your hardware

no virus i just scanned it..

i just updated windows (this used to happend even before i updated)like last week, i havent download anythin that can harm it, no new software, no message before it reboots, and i dont shut it down, it does it byt it self,  i try other p2p's but some never connect(Ares), lime wire doesnt have wat im looking for, bearsshare had everything i neede and fast downloads.

something i just remember is that when it did it the first time, i tought it was the power supply over heating cus the fan wasnt working and it got to hot and had to shut down. so i unistalled bearshare and fixed my power supply(2 days ago) so i said ok now the power supply works so it wont do it, i installed bearshare again and same thing over and over...

i still think this has something to do with the bearshare program itself, and not your computer (as no other programs give this error)

maybe you should consider other p2p programs (bearshare has advertisements or something in that kind, unless you pay for it).

yeah maybe it has to do with its 'save' thing that comes with it any one recomend another good p2p?

Bearshare is causing a system error on your computer. There is a way to prevent it from restarting on this type of error but instead of restarting it will give you a bluescreen.

You might want to try their website to see if they have any info on it.
