HI,

I got a question. When I leave the computer in idle mode,( say, for example, the computer is downloading something and I leave the terminal after switching off the monitor to do other job) and hit the keyboard after coming back in a short while, the Window XP restarts. This is intermittent problem, does not happen all the time. Any clue why. My smps and HDD are brand new and it's a P4-80 GB m/c with ASHROCK MB.
Thank you,

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.3

Check your Power options in CONTROL PANEL. You might want to change it to "always on" as a work-around. Some motherboards do not reliably come out of "standby".
