Quote - Are you having overheating issues on your cpu or vid card, CD? The heavy rendering and opengl progs could do that.... and overheating tends to create random reboots (in my experience).

Not so long ago, my old internet pc was doing the random reboot and freeze thing until I shovelled some dust out of its cpu heat sink and fan. Runs reliably now.... most of the time... so it looks like it was an overheating issue (as caused by the dust restricting heat/air flow off the thing).

Flak, I was looking at the issue of over heating with the vid card but i never really looked into it as my vid card isn't an onboard one but with you mentioning it again it makes me wonder. I thought about cpu over heating today as the computer rebooted withought me doing anything on it, i left it for an hour and when i came in to the room and grabbed my smokes the computer rebooted straight before my eyes.

I tell you its possessed.

@Fran i hope it doesn't as well

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
