Formatting my Comp

    About 2 years ago I built my own PC, (with a good bit of help), but now I'm seeing some problems like my PC rebooting itself once I try to use my Webcam (no smart comments please). Anyway, I fell that if I format my PC and reload Windows etc, all these small issues should disappear. Anyway, since my bit of help is no longer contactable, what way is the best way to do this? Or does anyone have a good link to guide me through it?
    Any help's appreciated!:)

    What windows have you got?
    xp?
    Why not make sure you have the correct drivers for the webcam?
    And also the latest sound drivers as it be probably a driver issue.

    Also go to windows update and custom and see if it finds other software for your componments.
    Also go to your motherboard website and check in case theres any new drivers for the full motherboard componments ie.via chipset.

    Your problems could be as simple as driver updates.

    Regards,
