Re: [PLUG] spontaneous reboots?

Kevin,
I used to have the same problem(s). First of all reset your BIOS to
default. Make sure you have a surge protector connected to your computer
and its hardware. You may also need to check your CPU temperature, it may
be overheating causing it to reboot.

Good luck
