Unexpected Reboot
I too am having problems with unexpected reboots but they happen regardless
of whether I am using the computer or not (as a matter of fact, it happened while I was writing this!). I already have the setting to not reboot but it reboots anyway. I don't play games and I have antivirus, antispyware, and firewall software installed. I first suspected a hardware problem but all diagnostics show no problems and despite that Dell replaced the power supply, cooling fan, etc. The system is WinXP SP3 on a new Core 2 Dell Inspiron 530 with 3 GB RAM. I have tried reinstalling Windows and shutting down each piece of software that I use. I have a brand new APC UPS. Nothing seems to make any difference. Help!

Do forget to look in the event viewer. |
