I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I have issues with the system cold
rebooting while surfing any websites. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 system.
I've had several avenues of support from Dell's "experts" from India.
None
has solved the issue so far. If I run a Video card stress test, then go
on a website and surf, the system will cold reboot in less than 10-20
seconds. The CPU does not seem to go over 60c, and the memory does not
seem to run out
of resources. Currently, if I surf for about 30 minutes or so, I will get
a
reboot. I have reinstalled Vista with SP1 and all updates. Any extra
info
for me here? Thanks for your support!!

This certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me, especially since you've
already done a clean install and are still experiencing the same problem.
Since this is a laptop computer, you can't fix this yourself. I'm sorry but
you need to call Dell tech support and insist that they replace/repair the
computer.
