hi guys;

if you help i will appreciate...
i have refurbished sharp actius al 27 512 mb amd mobile athlon 2700+,
it is just twoo-week older.
i had previously service pack 2 home edition then i changed it two xp
pro service pack two after formatting.


but my laptop is now rebooting itself frequently.
especially when i open streaming videos from yahoo launchcast and some other
media player streams.
all of sudden it rebbots and windows starts again.
but this is not restarting.
windows suddenly starts itself like i open windows.
i also tried to look at event viewer but there is clue everything is
fine... also i unchecked windows restart at dsystem failure but no
change
once that rebboting started evry half an hout i repeats...
i made update for drivers windows and virus scan.
but problem goes on...
what do you think folks?


it might be problem in motherboard?
 
Hi Vangogh,

Well when you say Laptop plus Reboot problem it usually means overheating
problem. MOST of the time it can be fixed by blowing out all your heat sinks
and fans with compressed air and keeping the laptop elevated off flat
surfaces so that it can breathe. Sometimes there is a problem with internal
components though so this is not a guarenteed fix. But try to blow out all
the fans and heatsinks on the laptop with compressed air and see if it helps.
The Streaming media is probably causing the problem because of the amount of
processor usage video playback takes.

Good Luck and let us know if it helps,

Joe
