whenever i leave my computer off and turn it back on and click on the internet the computer restarts for some reason. It will do this about 3 or 4 times, and then it quits doing it until the next time i turn my computer off. its like the power supply has to warm up or something. I'm not real sure what the problem could be, any suggestions?

does your power supply have one of those switches on teh back? If it does, does your power supply make noise when your computer turns off? And only restarts if you click on internet? how about some other program?

Does it actually restart, or does the computer just turn off?

If you think that the power supply needs to 'warm up', have you tried turning on the computer and letting it sit?

Are your virus definitions current?

Have you searched for malware (e.g. Ad-Aware, etc)?

ive only noticed it when i click on internet explorer, or an internet link. its weird as hell. ive had viruses, but my norton deleted or cleaned them up, and i have a spyware program to get rid of all that.

btw, i get a lot of those error report messages with the internet (more than normal), and i usually get an error message after i click 'dont send'. next time i get it ill post what it says, its some tech jargan i dont understand.

^^^^^ yeh it beeps. not sure about a switch, how do i check?

^^^^ just restarts i think. if it shuts down then it automatically comes back on, so im assuming its restarting.


^^^ too much good shit on my hardrive i dont wanna lose

try upgrading your IE to 7 or reinstalling/repairing it. Or use another browser.

Do you have any plugins like the Yahoo or Google toolbars? If so, try removing those.

another problem that might be related is a popup that i get a lot and the url just says "about:blank". It always freezes and brings up an error report.
