Hi. Some time ago I made a post about random rebooting. Since nothing worked, I've decided to completely format my computer an re-install Windows 2000. There hasn't been a reboot since until now, when I closed an IE window. Could the problem be in my hardware? Also, if it's relevant, I run a triple boot with Win2000Pro, Win98 and Mandrake Linux 9.0, although I think this isn't the problem because before, I only ran Win2000Pro and the same thing kept happening. These are my computer specs:

AMD Duron 1200 MHz
256 RAM DDR
Elite ECS K7S5A motherboard
GeForce2 MX400 (no TV-OUT) 64 MB
Muse XL (sound card)

I connect to the Internet with a cable modem.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

It's most likely a hardware problem. However, the first thing I would do is go into bios, and enable ACPI function. If that doesn't do it, then the first thing i'd replace is the power supply.
