 Any ideas ? - Ted


Last night I went for my regular trip to YouTube.
When I clicked to make the film into maximum screen, the computer crashed and started to re-boot itself.

It hasn't happened before and it did it several times last night...and again today.

Any ideas how to make it stop ?

Have you experimented with other browsers Ted, perhaps not as a solution but just to get a better idea of the problem?

Get all that crud out of the CPU fan, then tell us what the Windows system event log says.

Tried a different browser, that lets me maximise without falling off the perch. I've put an icon on so I'll use that 'til I see Ratto for some other problem...as there's bound to be.

Sorry Z, don'r really understand computerspeak..... events log..CPU fan.....lifes mysteries !

Thanks to both.

what he meant is your pc overheating, hence the crash , try opeing up the pc, and clean out the inside with a hair dryer

The fan is chucking out cold air like it's got a pair.

Graphics card dying? can you swap it for another to check, or run on on-board graphics and see if the prob still occurs?
