I am running a Dell GX300 with 512 meg ram Windows XP pro, IE 7 and the
latest Flash player and Java. For some time now I have been experiencing
random reboots of my system. It only occurs while on the internet. I have
never had the problem while using any of the software loaded on my machine
such as Office, Roxio Media Creator or others. I t can happen shortly after
opening IE and clicking a link or may not happen for 30 minuets or more. I
can be surfing and the next thing I know I click a link and bam the computer
reboots. I have kept everything updated to my knowledge and installed the
latest drivers for my hardware I can find. It seems as though it is related
to flash player of java but not sure. I know that this morning I was checking
out the new map system the Weather Channel had switched to and my computer
rebooted 3 times while doing this. I was trying to adjust the trasparency and
zoom the map when the reboots occurred. I have tried numerous things to fix
this problem such as moving some of my PCI based cards to different slots, to
no avail. I have also checked the system board for swollen capacitors which
I've run into before on some IBM machines. None swollen I could find. Sure
hope someone can help here before I blow this thing away and reload
everything AGAIN.
