    Okay fellas, I need your help. My computer reboots itself randomly. I went to the spyware forum and received help from Chaslang and we have successfully ruled out spyware, virus, malware, etc. He thinks it's software related.

    The problem I'm having is: when my girlfriend sisters go to myspace.com the computer reboots. I've had problems with the system rebooting when I went to g4tv.com. I've gone to other websites in the past and its done the same thing. It's driving me nuts.

    System info:
    WinXP
    2.8GHz
    512 RAM

    Someone mentioned that my fan might not be working but I'm not sure that is the problem because I can be online all day but the second I go to myspace.com the computer reboots.

    Any help I can get is very much appreciated

    The problem persists even in Mozilla Firefox so I'm not sure its an IE problem.

    And I have all the current windows updates.
