The random rebooting of your computer is not necessarily a software problem.  First though, I would ensure your virus definitions are up-to-date and I would run a full system scan.  Also, make sure that ALL of your drivers are good.

If that doesn't work, check the fan on your processor.  If you touch it and burn your finger, you need a new fan and that should fix the problem.  I have also seen bad RAM and hard drives cause the problem.  Hope that helps

    Janet.........What anti virus are you running and is it current and complete with all the latest updates ?.
    Also ....the fact that your home page is being changed,
    suggests that you may have have a hijacker present.
    So ......D/l CW Shedder .........Ver 1.59.1

    when your hompage is changed to " about blank" run Shedder and it should change it back and tell you what changed it .

    If you do in fact have a hijacker ......then you will have to remove it using Hijackthis......
