Uncontrolled restarts

[stever]

My machine frequently restarts while on-line. There is
no apparent pattern to this problem; occurs while in e-
mail, while browsing, while completing tax froms, etc.

Any clues how to eliminate this frustating event?

Windows version?

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
