Hi My computer seems to run all right except when I connect to the Internet.....after it's been connected for a short time (minute or whatever), the machine just reboots. It just does it out of no where...the screen just goes black and then the next thing I see is the reboot process. I don't know why it would be doing this....anybody have any ideas?? Thanks!

Well,the first suspect would be overheating.
Maybe you need to clean the computer inside.
If you know how to clean the heatsink and CPU and add thermal paste...That wouldn't be a bad idea either.
