hello.. lately my computer has been restarting on me randomly. I have no clue what can be causing it. Like I'll be in the middle of something and it will restart. Or I'll be away from teh computer and it will restart. Should I shut off my UPS and then turn it back on? I don't know what's causing this and I'm worried :(. Please help. Thanks.

Which Operating System are you running?

Once that is known we can figure out a way to get Windows to display an error report rather than reboot.

Windows XP restarts unexpectedly or restarts when you shut down the computer (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320299)

Ok, I'll look at it when I get home to go on the computer that's doing it. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a critical problem :(. Thanks, I'll get back to you later.
