Hi troels
I am also having problems with my PC switching down at
erregular intervals. It just closes to a blank screen and
after a brief period reloads . A message that a serious
problem exists comes up asking that the info be forwarded
to Microsoft.I do this but nothing happens.
The problem happens independent of where I am operating
and the period is certainly random. I am becoming very
irritated by the problem and if anyone comes up with a
solution I would be very gratefull. It seems to be a
problem that microsoft should handle. Perhaps we should
ask for their help. Eddy
