What would cause a sudden reboot while doing anything on my computer? It
doesn't do it all the time just random times and not just any one particular
program does it reboot on! I cleaned the fan on the proceessor and my power
supply of all the dust and dirt thinking that was the problem with
overheating...but it continues. it usually happens a couple of times a
day.Any Clues? help!!!
 
It is possible your power supply is starting to go. If the voltage dips, you
can get a reboot or a freeze up.

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be
dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is
the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes...known instruments
for bringing the many under the domination of the few. . . No nation could
preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

- James Madison, Political Observations, 1795
 
ONE SUGGESTION WAS THE POWER SUPPLY MAY BE GOING OUT...THIS WOULD CAUSE
REBOOTS AND FREEZE-UPS

It would be helpful to know some specifics of your computers (s).
What OS; what processor, browser, video card, etc. Reason for why
this might be of help - for a time, several earlier version of ATI
drivers would cause problems if one went to a Web site that was using
Java. Newer versions fixed that problem.

You might have a virus, possibly msblast.
