Well, first things first. I am very sorry about your loss.
As far as device manager, sorry, I should have posted the how-to on that.
Go to startright click My ComputerPropertiesHardwareDevice Manager.
Look for same yellow, or red indicators.
Now, what I'm going to do is check those event I.D.'s. I'll get back to
you.

Question on your last post Ivee... when it comes to checking the Device
Manager to see if there's any conflicts, How do I do that?
I also did a quck look in the Event Viewer. And Oh my... there's all
kinds
of Yellow warnings and Red Errors.
Under Applications: Numerous Warnings and errors for MsiInstaller ;
category none ; Event 1004 there were dozens (and several for 11706)
Red
Error Application Hand Category General or none Event 1106, (1000, 1002)
Under Security there was none at all.
Under System Numerous ones again. Alot of Warning Yellow - W32Time
Category none Event 36
And numerous Error Red Service Manager Category None Event 10010
(7009,7023)
Red Error ATAPI Cat None Event 9
Error Red DCOM Category None Event 1005
Looks like hours of work to fix all these.

Could be, and probably is the reason. Read your manual on how to
uninstall
your All-In-One,
Then, before you reinstall it, see if the error happens again. If all is
well after uninstalling, and unplugging, try reinstalling your All-In-One
again, including the driver software.
But, first check your Device Manager to see if there are any conflicts.
Also, another thing I should have had you look into is your event viewer.
Go to StartAdmin Toolsevent viewer. Again, look for any yellow warning
indicators, or red error indicators.
If there are any, you can click on them, that will bring up a brief
explanation, and included in that explanation will be a link that you can
click on that will give more info and possibly a fix.

Patient.... yes I will be. How can I not when you wonderful people
have
such
never ending patience and willingness to help me.  I'll do as
suggested
in the link as well as the Error checking you said above.
One thing that did dawn on me last nite was around the time this
started
happening my 'scanner' on my 3 in 1 (printer, scanner, copier) stopped
working. Keeps giving me error messages about not being there but it
is.
The printer works from the comp etc... but not the scanning. Not sure
if
this has any correlation but thought I should mention it.

Happy Friday!  ) But bad news. After 42 hours of no shut
downs
it
did
two in less than 10 minutes. So I guess I'm not home scot free
after
all.
Tomorrow morning I'll run through the other suggestions to
try.
I
wonder if the mouse wasn't part of the trouble though. Since it's
been
so
infrequent since changing them? Michael... you really brought up
some
great
points on why shutting it down is a good idea. Some I'd never even
thought
about. Thanks so much for taking the time to share all that with
me.
I'll
post more tomorrow.

You're welcome, glad it worked for you.
In terms of the computer itself and no outside factors, it
generally
makes
no difference. You'll find people pretty evenly split about the
shutdown
issue. Personally, I feel heat is the enemy of all electronics and
shutting
down at night gives components a chance to cool.
However, there are outside factors that, I think, are good reasons
to
shutdown the system when unattended. First, if there is a power
outage,
even if you have a UPS, uninterruptible power supply, it can still
damage
the system. Most UPSs are designed to take over and give you
enough
time
to
properly shut everything down before a loss of power to the system.
If
you
are asleep or away on vacation or just out running errands, if
there's
a
power outage, it might damage your system beyond repair.
There's also a security issue. Even if you have a good firewall,
antivirus
and connect through a router, if the system is booted someone else
can
access it. If you have an always on connection as is the case with
broadband, most activity will be apparent to you. If you see your
connection active, perhaps sending out information beyond what is
normal,
perhaps you see the connection activity lights in the notification
area
by
the clock constantly lit, if you are there, you can take action,
disconnect
the modem or shut the system down. If you are away, you can take
no
action.
Then, there's the issue of your children or any family members
perhaps
doing
things or going into things you don't wish them to see.
Third, a burglary. Someone gets in your house, see the computer
booted
and
has enough computer savvy to begin accessing things. If the
computer
isn't
booted, such an outsider isn't likely to take the time to boot the
system
and with XP, try to bypass the welcome screen. He might steal the
computer
but having it shutdown is a bit of added protection against
unauthorized
access and an additional layer of security for your personal
information.

Woo hoo! No more shut downs and restarts. That one night before
last
must
have been the electric and not the trouble I'd been having.
There's
not
been
a single one since then. Yes!!!! *doing the happy dance* 
Michael I read your post about the mouse thing... I don't have
any
special
mouse or software for it. Just a plain ol' mouse. But you were
obviously
right on the money with the mouse being the cause. I can't thank
you
enough!! Now... I know you'll think it's a stupid question.
I've
never
really gotten a straight answer about it. Is it better to leave
the
comp
on
or should I be shutting it off at night? I'm on cable and for
the
past
couple years have just left it on. Which is best to do? TIA!
And
have a
great day!!

Well... I'm stumped. LOL It hasn't done it once today.
(prior
to
changing
the mouse it was every hour or so) I'm guessing it's possible
the
electric
kicked off for a second during the nite which would have made
the
comp
restart. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that changing the mouse
fixed
the
problem.

Several times the past couple weeks my computer popped up a
blue
screen
and
shut down then restarted. (doing a physical memory dump)
Error message said IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop 0C0000000A
0X00000004
0X00000002
0X0000001
0X804DFEB9
Can someone walk me through this to fix it? or will I need
to
take
it in
for repair? I can't afford the latter. Dell was NO help.
Thanks!
