My Computer runs XP PRO I have Norton and AVG Anti Viruses and also Ad-Aware, with out warning whilst in Word,XL or even playing Solitaire or some games like Age of Empires the Computer just goes to a black screen for a second or will totally re-boot itself, i am upto date with Windows XP updates and my Anti Virus software doesn't find anything. Can anyone suggest what to try?
