Hi Dave -- Sorry you're having this problem -- but be thankful it's not
doing what my PC has been doing -- just restarting for no reason in the
middle of what I'm doing. It does it sometimes several times a day, and I
believe it's a hardware problem.
I have bought a new laptop and am in the process of transfering over and
getting rid of my old pc to someone who likes to tinker with buggy machines.
Sorry I'm not more help. After paying a lot for tech support I've given up
on this one.
But if you'd like, try taking a look at the log and see if it says anything
better than "fatal error".
(Don't you hate those terse messages????)
Good luck.

Subject: [guispeak] pc dies while in ie:
Hi all,
We've got a well maintained p4 2.4ghz system with 512mb of ram and an 80 gb
hd running xp pro sp1 with all updates that are possible without going to
sp2 and for no apparent reason while on the web, the pc scrren will go black
with a message requiring us to cold boot the pc to get it running again.
I'm looking at the issue but would appreciate any tips. I have not yet
looked at the recovery process to see if the system is shutting down or
attempting to shut down rather than doing some auto recovery.
Thanks!
