For the last 3 days, my computer has been restarting once or twice a day at random times. It just goes black screen and restarts and i lose everything i was doing. I tried stopping it from restarting and tried to make it go BSOD but that didnt work. I've checked on the interwebs and found that it could be because of windows 7 RC expiring right now. BUT the RC version is build 7100 and my (pirated) version is 7600 :S . I've also checked the event viewer to see if there are hardware problems but there are none :/ . I've scanned my computer a lot of times and found nothing.

Any ideas on wat this could be from? :(

yeah i think that happens when you use an unlicenced version of windows and the 30 day trial period ends.

u can extend the 30day trial/activation period by another 30 days, google how to do it, you run cmd in admin rights, then u type something like "slrmgr -rearm", cant remember exactly what it was, google it, but it extends ur activation/trial period by another 30 days, so do it on the last day and you'll get like 120 free days of windows 7 (you can do it a maximum of 3 times)
