214402 2004-02-10 21:18:00 Hi thomas01, just some questions to help us, help you :)

What operating (windows) system is it?

Does it happen in a certain program, like a game, or surfing the internet or after minutes/hours ?

Have you recently installed some software that maybe caused it. Or added hardware?
