Here's the problem as was described to me from my girlfriend as I haven't
witnessed the problem. Her computer has been restarting on it's own for a few
weeks. When it does it it will then ask what mode you wish to startup with,
ex. normal, safemode, safemode w/ bios, etc.
My roomate took a look at it and couldn't find a problem with it and he used
it for over 24 hours. When she got it back she tried it and it continued to
experience problems but not all the time. It will usually reboot twice and
then work fine on the third reboot.
The only changes on her pc that were made recently was a new power supply
installed as hers died. As my roomie didn't experience any of her problems he
suggested a new power strip. Not sure if it has rectified the problems or not
as it hasn't been used much since she got it back and has used the new strip.
My only other thought is that her electrical outlet in the wall is bad and
causing power surges.
Anybody have any other suggestions software, hardware, or electrical related
to suggest?
