When I am watching web video - news site video (CNN, WSJ, FOX) or YouTube, a few minutes into it, my system restarts. Also, but less frequently, I get random restart on browsing with both IE8 and FF.
See my profile for specs - basically Win7 32 bit OEM on a 5 year old P4 system. Its fully patched.
I thought it might be my Avast and Ad Aware so I uninstalled these and installed MS Security Essentials. Its fully patched too. I have updated my video drivers and installed an MS Codec update.
The restarts are still happening.
The case gets decent air flow and I even slipped the side panel off, blew out some dust. The CPU temp seems fine so I dont think its a thermal warning.
I tried the instructions to generate a minidump file, but no luck. The zip file has all my settings re: minidump as per the thread. See word doc in zip file.
I am open to suggestions. Please see attached.
Thanks
