So, as you already discarded FlashPlayer as unique source of your reboots, I will take a look into: 1/ System overheating (reboots tend to happen due to high temperatures, watch the BIOS CPU temps and control the rpm of the fans). 2/ RAM memory modules and voltages. Check the ram dimms are certified for you motherboard and also, look into the BIOS voltages are the correct ones for you type of ram. 3/ Hard disks health. You can test this with "smartcl". Being a brand-new computer I would suspect for bad hardware or assembly problems :-/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
