Computer constantly reboots

[Guest]

My computer constantly reboots when using Microsoft Front Page or the game
"spider solitaire". It seems ok in other applications. Below is a copy of
some of the errors:

00111195F593 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.2.1 (The DHCP Server

It appears that more than just those 2 programs are having problems.

I'd suggest you first insure there is no severe overheating of your pc. Then run a hardware diagnostic to check the RAM memory.
Then there are some cleanups to do, at least for Windows Update.

Be sure to have good pc ventilation & adequate cooling. Beware overheating.
If you suspect a heating problem, first be sure there is sufficient space all around the pc case for air circulation. Be sure there is nothing blocking any air intake slots. Take a look at the power supply fan (usually in back of the pc case) to be sure it is not blocked with dust & gunk, and that it is turning when power is on.

With pc powered off, and with adequate antistatic protection, look inside your pc case. Remove all dust.

Very carefully....turn power on & observe that all internal fans are running.

Run a RAM memory test. MEMTEST86 is one such utility.
See http://www.memtest86.com/

I personally prefer & use TUFF TEST
http://www.tufftest.com/

Insure you do not have bad, marginal, or flaky RAM memory chips. Likewise, insure you have good/steady electric power & no hardware problems.

Windows Update related: You have a Catroot2 sub-folder.
Use Windows Explorer. Go to C:\Windows\System32

Delete all the contents of CATROOT2 sub-folder and the Catroot2 folder. Do 'not' touch or confuse with Catroot folder.

Thanks Will, I'll give it a look right now.

Thanks Maurice. I'll check on those right now. Might take me awhile.
I'll post again later to let you know.
