You need to re-configure the options for the action that will take place
when a fatal error is encountered. This will allow the error message to be
displayed instead of the system simply restarting. Go to Control
Panel/System/Advanced tab/Startup and Recovery section/Settings button.
Remove the check mark from the "Automatically restart" option and place a
check mark in the "Write an event to the system log" option.

Go to Start/Run, type: eventvwr.msc and press OK. In the Event Viewer,
check for any red X error messages that correspond with the problems
appearing in the browser. Double click the error to see the details and the
module that is causing the fault.

Post back in this thread with the information you find.

Computer Reboots
Posted: 02-26-2004, 02:16 AM
Our computer is four days old. New XP users. While working our computer will reboot all by itself and will display a screen very briefly which says something about power saver mode. Anyone have any suggestions?

Since your computer is very new check in Control Panel>Power Options.
Check your power settings.
