Default Sudden Reboot

When I am running limewire pro, out of the blue my computer will just reboot itself. It's happened at different times, and it only happens while limewire is running; any possible clue why this would happen?

When was the last time you did a virus-scan.

You do have a firewall that is properly configured don't you, or do you leave your computer open, so someone else can take control and shut it down for you.

Try deleting your LW preferences folder; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

If it still happens, after you open LW go to Task manager & see if there's more than one Limewire listed.

Also check your video card & tell us which one you have. See if there's any updates for the drivers available.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. HDD space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...)

Ooh, it just finally happened without me having limewire running. Sorry for the hassle but it's only ever happened while LW was running until now.

As I suggested, check your video card drivers. This is a common reason for this type of issue. It might not be that. But if it's not a virus or something then I'm not sure.

What type of computer (cpu) do you have. There's a chance the cpu may have an issue. I remember there was an issue with one model that needed a particular update to fix it.
