Wooo! Thanks, Jesse.
My food is problematic.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Are you ready to be strong?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Can anyone tell me a possible reason why my computer spontaneously shuts itself off and restarts? It's happened three times in the last thirty minutes. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I'm doing when it happens. Norton says it doesn't have a virus. It's a Pentium 4 PC running Windows XP, and I've only had it two months. This is very frustrating.

not completely connected power cord?

Checked. Power cord plugged in.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Is it plugged in with a bunch of other stuff? Try switching to another outlet.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It could be overheating.

Could be... but it doesn't feel particularly hot, and the fan always sounds like a vaccuum cleaner every time it starts up. There's nothing blocking the vents. I dunno; I'll turn it off for a while and maybe it'll magically fix itself.

Can someone help me out? I'm trying to download something off YouSendIt, but I'm using Safari, and if I click on the link to download the thing, instead of seeming to download it to my computer, it seems like it's trying to open it and stream it instead. I can't figure out how to change this. Help? (Of course, maybe at the end of the streaming it would've somehow been saved somewhere? But it hung up near the end, so I had to just stop it and give up (and when I hit stop, it didn't seem to have saved those bits anywhere).

Trust my rage
is Safari your only option? I've had success with YSI using Firefox. (IOW, I have no idea what the Safari issue might be.)

I can't figure out how to change this. Help?
Can you right-click (or control-click, depending on the number of buttons on your mouse) and choose the download option from the menu?
