    Hulu Causing Computer Lock-Up & Restart


    My computer auto restarts or locks-up only when I'm watching Hulu on full screen. I was watching Hulu and paused it for maybe 5 to 10 min while I finished up a couple of things, I starting playing the video and about maybe 10 min later my PC just shut down & restarted, there was no BSOD it just restarted on its own. I dl CPUID to check my temps to see if it was maybe o'heating while i watched other videos on hulu but nothing, it worked like a champ & temps were around 35c I think. Does any one have any suggestions on what would cause my auto restart while watching Hulu.

    Go to device manager and check video and sound drivers.
    Up to date and no yellow warning markers
