The computer jut reboots while in the middle of explorer or email. Sometimes in word. The computer is HP XL768
I have a McAfee internet security suite running


What kind of Power Supply is installed?

Have you scanned for viruses, trojan horses and spyware?

    Sounds like it's overheating - has it been very hot recently? Check that Power Supply fan and any other fans fitted are working correctly.
