E-machine, 1000mhz celeron, 128mb ram, 20gig hdd, Windows XP Home, keeps rebooting for no apparent reason. Does this mostly when working in Works Word Processing. We have checked the fans on both the power supply and processor (working fine). Allcards and ram seated properly. Wrote zeros to hard drive and reinstalled operating system and software and still having the same problem. Don’t believe it is overheating and system is on a new surge protector.
This system belongs to a friend and started doing this two weeks after it was purchased. She sent the system back to tech support who tested everything and could find no problems. The system is not on a circuit with any major appliances.
Do you think putting the system on a battery backup would stop it from rebooting if it is a power issue?
This is a random reboot. Sometimes she works on it all day without a problem and other days she can be on it for about 20 minutes and it reboots.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.
