PC Goes Of For No Obvious Reason And Then..
I have Vista Home Premium which inadvertently switches itself off and I
have to go through about 7 or 8 manual boots under 'choose repair option' which repairs a little, switches off, I reboot, it repairs a little further, switches off and so on until I get to 'will start up at a point. Any ideas as to why this maybe ? The PC has Norton 360 on it... TIA

It is a hardware problem. Once fixed, get rid of that crappy Norton. Use
AVG or AVAST on your system. They're free. "El.Plates" wrote in message ...

Back up all your valuable data to a CD, data partition, or external source first. Then try it for awhile. Is it a laptop? Could be a heat issue, but that wouldn't need "repairs" to the OS. -- I AM Bucky Breeder, (*(^; and this transmission was generated using a near-zero carbon footprint! http://www.theyost.com/images/viral/zero_carbon.gif Repent!

That last is the direct result of the hard shutdowns the computer itself is doing. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )

McAfee and Norton were always horrible expensive resource hogs. I use Comcast however and they have free Norton now. I just tried it experimentally and it is a whole different animal than it once was. I love it. It does a whole lot and is very light on resources. I really didn't expect to use in more than a couple of days, but have had it for a few months now and it has had great detection and has never bogged things down. Course right now I happen to be on my Linux partition and am using no AV, but that's beside the point. Gregg "El.Plates" wrote in message ...
