Ok, so there I am, idly running around the net when suddenly the computer goes down, the monitor goes into standby mode, the mouse/keyboard/gamepad shut down and the cdrom lights up but isn't spinning. To get out of this, I have to power down the system manualy.
After this, it won't start at all unless I reset my surge protector. However.. it's the only thing pluged into the surge protector that won't start before resetting. The monitor, speakers, etc are still working.
This has happened 3 times, all of which I was online.
All the relevant info:
Win2k
Athalon 1ghz thunderbird
512 megs of ram

250 watt power supply
