Hi there,
Hoping someone can help me with this enfuriating and exasperating problem.
Some websites make my PC switch itself off and do a restart. This only
happens when JAWS is on. If someone visits the websites when JAWS is not on,
there is no problem at all.
I'll explain it a bit more in a second but has anyone else had this problem?
It's all to do with certain websites.
Sometimes when I land on a website the computer will do a restart before
even letting me arrow down into any of the page. On other websites, however,
like the 'My eBay' section in eBay, it causes the computer to restart when I
arrow down to a certain line on the page.
Also: I used to visit UKNova.com with no problem whatsoever until recently.
Now as soon as I land on the site the computer does a restart. Interestingly
here though I decided to delete all cookies and I was able to look at the
front page of UKNova without any problems. TO use the service tho, you need
to sign in. As soon as you sign in, you're directed to a different part of
the site, the website drops a cookie onto the hard disk and bang bang the
computer automatically does a total system restart. Not sure, then, if the
issue here is to do with the cookie or something else.
I am confused and irritated beyond belief and the more I surf the web the
more websites I'm coming across that switch my PC off.
Other things I've done is delete all the history. It did nothing. It also
didn't help when I upgraded to service pack 2.
Please please please if someone can give me any ideas or insight into what
could be going on I'd be so immensely grateful.
I'm already seriously considering just buying a new computer which clearly
is a silly reaction to this problem. Oh and incidentally I seem to have
plenty of memory.
Thank you!
...Damon
