Have a curious problem that has showed up on a windows machine I 'support'
for my boss (I'm not a heavy windows user).  

At no particularily reproducable time the system does a re-boot.  Happens
!only! within windows applications.  System is a Northgate 25 mhz 486.

The system ran fine for a couple of months before this.  I suspected power
supply problem, and Northgate shipped us a new one, but it didn't relieve
the problem.

Any ideas?




..... on another issue....

He also gets 'unrecoverable application error' when exiting different
programs (winword, excel, etc), and bumps you out to dos.  It happens just
before you get the prompt 'do you want to save current file'.

any ideas on this one??



thanks for your help
