Hi I am new to this forum but I am impressed with everything I have read
so far. In the last 2 days, if I leave my PC idle for a few minutes it
shuts down. And then when I try to restart the PC I can't without
pushing the reset button on my motherboard an Asus PT6 Deluxe
motherboard. I am running Vista 64 Ultimate with 6G Ram. Everest says
that all my temps are normal. I have upgraded the BIOS thinking it might
be corrupt. It still does it, I have installed the latest video driver
for my ATI 4870. I have restored my system to last month when there
where no issues. I am out of ideas. Norton Security Suite says nothing
is wrong. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this? I
have also reset all my power options back to original. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciated them. But believe or
not, my problems were with corrupt video drivers. I borrowed my son's
Nvidia video card and removed all ATI video drivers. I manged to run
without any problems for 14 + hours. I had to find out whether it was my
video card or the drivers, so I installed my video card back in. I
haven't had any more problems since then, except for trying to install
Nero 9. It will not ever completely install. But I will figure it out
eventually. Thanks again.
