Two days ago my home computer started spontaneously rebooting intermittently. Sometimes the reboots hang at the Win2k splash screen. Thus far, I have not been able to discern a pattern.

McAfee says no viruses, and I haven't done anything particularly risky lately. And I'm behind a firewall. So I suspect a hardware problem of some sort.

The machine is less than a year old, so it should still be under warranty. But it's still a nuissance.

Dusted the inside of your computer lately? If you are comfortable with it, try reseating your memory.

Good point. I had to open the case about a month ago to put a card in, and should have dusted while I was in there. That's easy enough to try. I'm not comfortable reseating memory myself (poor vision combined with lots of delicate parts makes for a nervous user), but maybe my husband can do it.

Thanks for the suggestions!
