Hi. My problem is that my computer reboots sometimes for no reason. Example: I run, say, MAME32 or Moorhuhn 3. I play the game and when press ESC to exit the program, my computer reboots. This is particularly annoying because I lose my place on download queues. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

MAke sure you dont have that key assigned to shutdown and reboot. In the power setting in the display area.

I don't see any setting that would make me bind a keyboard button to the power button. All I see are the system standby settings, the hibernate settings, advanced settings and UPS settings. Any other ideas?

So far so good. There haven't been any unwanted reboots since I ran that program. Thanks! :)

I take that back. It happened again. This time I clicked on the IE6's close button and it rebooted. What's happening here?

Check into your video drivers. I know with Mame32 when you exit, it readjustes your resolution. Based on that it could be something with your video.
