In the last few days, my computer has taken to just
shutting off - poof- then immediately rebooting. When it
reboots it doesn't detect an improper shutdown. It just
acts as if nothing bad has happened. I have a UPS and
there hasn't been so much as a flicker in the lights in
the room. What on earth is this machine up to?
Hey Lizzie:
Have you updated any of your hardware on your computer.
Video card, sound card etc...
I have had situations where a person puts a new device
into their computer and the mother board doesn't support
it fully. To be more specific, an older ASUS mother board
with an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)on it had support
for AGP 2X. The graphics card that was put into the
computer was for an AGP 4X slot. The computer ran fine,
but when a game or a graphics entence program would be
run, the computer would bottle neck, and either freeze or
reboot.
I hope that this might answer your question, good luck in
the future.
