nope, I was running xp pro with sp3 with all updates & outlook express & trillian & firefox & zoc (ver. 3.??) & avg. (not sure how munch memory I had in it), I had to get a new computer, the main h-d & it's backup h-d was were doing unplanned re-boots, a format job didn't help was still doing it
Sounds familiar -- If anyone else is running into the same issues, I fixed that once by removing every connector, the memory, and the CPU. Removed all of the dust with a blower and nylon paintbrush, re-pasted the CPU, and reseated the memory and all of the cables.
Cleaning out the fan of dust quieted it down, the fan was off-balance enough to make it louder.
If that doesn't do the trick, might be time for a new motherboard or system. :(
