Hi everyone.

I have a co-worker who's having some issues with his son's computer. Everytime his son goes on the internet, his computer shuts off. It does not reboot, it just shuts off. I'm thinking its either overheating. I dont have time to do research right now because i'm at working (very busy ) and I was wondering if any of you knows of any vulnerabilities in IE that would cause that. I dont have the computer stats right now but i'll get them as soon as I pay a visit to his house. He said he's using winXP. Also, are there any viruses that would cause this to happen? I'm aware of an Indian virus that makes the PC reboot uncontrollably to the point that you have reformat but i doubt that virus is the culprit. Any help on this would be very appreciated and thank you in advance for your time. The computer is about 1 year old btw. The son does download music so i'm guessing he could be running Kazaa or some other p2p software. Just something to keep in mind.

Cheers and have a Wonderful New Year.
