Re: Internet Explorer

I'm currently running IE6, but I first noticed this in IE7. I tried
uninstalling IE7 and using IE6 again and that didn't fix it. Then I
performed a system restore back to a point before I did anything with IE7 -
again using IE6 - but that didn't fix it either.

I checked and have the latest drivers.

As far as the BIOS is concerned. It appears as though I can get a new
version, but I need a bootable flopyy disk in order to flash the BIOS.
Unfortunately, this computer doesn't have a floppy disk drive. Does anyone
know of a way to create some other form of bootable media (i.e. CD, DVD, or
thumb drive)?

Are you currently running IE6 or IE7?

Have you checked the computer manufacturer's website for available driver
and BIOS updates?

I tried three different mice and it happens regardless.

I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing the same problem with IE that I
am.

When using IE 6 or 7 I scroll up and down pages using the wheel on my
mouse
like any other person.

I noticed that scrolling up and down in IE causes my computer to shut
down
immediately. It doesn't gracefully shut down or tell me that it is
shutting
down or even give an error message. The computer just shuts completely
of
as if I pulled the power cable out of the back of it.

After doing some trouble shooting I have yet to come up with a pattern
except that this problem only occurs in IE. It doesn't occur in Firefox
or
Windows Explorer.

Additionally, when scrolling in IE I can hear my CPU making a scratching
noise. At first I thought it was the hard drive reading vigorously as I
scrolled, but after opening the case and listening closely I realized it
is
coming from the CPU. Again, IE is the only thing that causes this to
occur.
Everything else works great. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas
at
all?
Thanks
