[help] system reboots

[pcandpc]

Hello?

Just completed reinstall of the OS on a new systemboard

and updated virus files.

When viewing a website, my system automatically rebooted

itself. Thinking possible virus infection, scanned the whole

system but found no viruses.

Is my system infected?

Thanks.

User-mode applications cannot crash the box unless they have kernel-mode drivers - and your browser doesn't. Consider uninstalling any software that contains kernel drivers (like antivirus, antispyware, backup, CD emulation, etc) and reinstalling the latest versions of such if you need those packages. Also update any video and audio drivers to the latest certified drivers to make sure those are as stable as have been released by your vendor, to eliminate that as the root cause as well.
