restart prob's

[FredJim]

I've got WinME, 256 MB RAM, ........tonight my daughter was on the computer viewing someting on Zoog Disney and the computer just all of the sudden restarted. It has done that to me one other time for no apparent reason. It's done it to her a few times and it always happens when she on Zoog Disney or another kids web page....why does this happen and how can I stop it ??

Check the power cord and make sure that it is making a solid connection to the PC box and ensure that it is not frayed in any way. Make sure that you are using a "Good" and stable electrical outlet.

If this is ONLY occurring on the kid sites.........
Kid sites are usually pretty intensive on graphics. Intensive graphics cause the hardware to heat up.
Check all fans inside the box including the small one on top of the processor to ensure they are all running.

Last, you may need a new power supply.

Good luck.

I totally agree with Wheedoggy; almost certainly PSU problem. Regards
