My PC was working pretty well, but then suddenly it started randomly kind of rebooting (I'll explain it later).
Sometimes I'm playing games and then my monitor turns off but I can still hear the game running, but other times the whole system just enters some kind of hibernate process (it doesn't restarts at all). Oh, and sometimes (but this happens rarely) it happens on Windows (using the explorer or playing Solitaire).

I checked monitor cables and I tried reinstalling Windows (previous disk quick format in case of virus) but it doesn't help. My system configuration is as follows:

P4 2.4 Ghz
XFX Geforce 6800 GS/XT 256MB
1GB ram
Biostar motherboard (P4-M40)

PS: the oldest piece is the processor which I bought in 2003, the other parts are 1 year old tops.
PS 2: if it serves as a clue, the PC did the same thing when I tried to install the video drivers, but when I restarted the PC they were installed.

It's a pretty average setup (not to say old) but it's enough for me (for now).

By the way, pardon my english.
