    problem with computer dell

    Iam having problems with my computer. It re-starts itself frecuently. It
    happens when I am navigating or using the internet. Could it be a problem of
    my UPS? The windows help suggests it could be a problem with my sound card,
    what do you think?

    See if there are any updated drivers on Windows Update or on the Dell site for any hardware in your computer. Also, you might try downloading Speedfan (SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer) and see what your temperatures are. Usually, new computers don't have any issues, but I've seen a few that had fans that didn't work or heatsinks not seated correctly.

    If it's your sound card, you can try disabling it and see if the problem continues. If it does, you can rule that out. Otherwise, check for new drivers for it.
