oh and I should add to my last post. I also used to have no problem
whatsoever with this eBay page and then suddenly - after I started using the
page quite a bit - it all went west.

Hi again Damon,
I should really qualify what I said.
At the beginning of this explanation, you say that the web sites run OK when JAWS is not running, but when you run it, they don't run. You then come to the conclusion you that you may end up buying a new computer. From your explanation, it sounds like the screen reader is to blame, not the computer to me. I think both Hal and Window-Eyes are more stable than JAWS nowadays.

Hi Damon,
How about a new screen reader? <Smile>. I reckon that's where your problem is. I don't reckon JAWS is all that stable any more in general.

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
