    It still does this from time to time though. Now that you mention torrent the last time this happened, I was downloading a torrent.. I wonder if th has anything to do with it, but I'd have to wonder why torrents would caus this issue.

    I've also had machines that were sutting down because the CPU was getting
    too hot. The fan and heat sync were chock full of dust. I cleaned it all
    up and it worked fine after that...

    My computer isn't shutting down though, and from what I can tell, the CPU
    isn't overheating. The computer will still be running, but sometimes when I turn the monitor back on, it doesn't get a signal.

    In the past, I've used VNC to connect to my PC from another PC and reboot it that way, so I don't have to do a hard reset. I've installed VNC server software on it again but can't connect from another PC.. I'll have to keep looking into that one.
