I have this big problem with my fairly new computer, and I hoped someone here could help out. First of all, my computer is a Duron 600, Asus A7V mainboard, 128 MB RAM, ATi Xpert 2000 Pro AGP, SB Live! Value..
Ok, the problem is that every once in a while when I run an application, the screen will blank out and the computer reboots spontaneously, or it will just freeze with a blank screen. (the screen always goes blank).
This has been happening usually when I open ICQ or get a message in ICQ, when I start Outlook Express, and Scour Exchange. (For example, almost every other time I start Outlook it reboots!!).
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'm starting to think it might be hardware, but I thought I could hopefully get some ideas before I do anything else. Thanks in advance.
