Would anyone like to suggest a possible reason/s why my puter might suddenly decide to reboot itself usually when left unattended downloading stuff?
I thought of over-heating (it's set to shutdown at 70C but runs at less than 48C... but that's shutdown... not rebooting, too! I appear to have no viruses. I do have Nortons Systems Works 2002 which gets regularly updated, but cannot see any associated program in it that causes a reboot after doing some scheduled servicing or whatever.
I looked high and low through my Win98 SE display settings but have not seen anything there that might cause it.... again any there appear to cause shutdown of PC. It's the rebooting.. and accompanying scandisk.. that bothers me. :(
My son doesn't seem to think it's anyone nuking me although it did occur to me. I have reasonable firewall protection from my IP and not open to the troubles that Win95 used to suffer.
Would appreciate any tips or leads I might look at.
