Computer rebooting by itself

Hi all, I'm using "Bea" in several computers and have noticed on two machines after doing a shutdown the machine reboots.

On one machine dual booting with Windows XP Mint reboots but Windows does not. This machine is a P4-3.0 on an ASrock Intel 865 based motherboard with current BIOS. The other is a PIII-1266 on Gigabyte GA-6IEML motherboard.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try.

Cheers

hi there, When booting from the live disk I can't find any memory test option. Where do they hide it?

OK, I found the test. It's not on my Mint disc but is on my Ubuntu disk.

It's been running about two and a half hours and bingo, we have a memory error.

Will change the RAM and see how I go.
