The new site is making me mad! I get on trains.com/mrr and the computer automaticly reboots its self so after it was on and usable agin, the same thing happened I get to the site it reboots itself. Now I get on my mom’s labtop and no problems at all. Any help here?
Yeah - have someone have a look at your computer for viruses or other local trouble with your computer. Web sites do not normally make a computer reboot …

BNSF,
Sounds like an issue with your computer, not the web site. How old is your computer? Do you have an antivirus or malware program protecting your computer from attacks? Have you ever cleaned the registry on your computer?

BNSF–
I agree with Stein. You might have a ‘glitch’ in your computer that’s just turned up.
What about other websites? Do you have the same reboot problem with them? If your mom’s laptop is getting on here without any problem, it sounds more like a computer problem than a website problem.
Good luck.

Don’t blame the web site because your computer is fouled up. Reboots are caused by a virus or other malware on your computer and not by trying to access any particular web site.
If you’re running Windows, when was the last time you ran Disk Cleanup and Defragmented the hard drive? These are two essential Windows utilities that should be used at least weekly.
Do you have a good, updated anti-virus Internet software package installed? If not, you sure need to get one. If your computer is already infected it may be too late to salvage what’s on the hard drive. Do you have the Firewall turned on?
There are many Internet security packages available ranging in price from free to nearly $100. One freebie is called AVG, which can be downloaded from the Internet. A commercial product that is recommended by computer repair shops around here is Panda Internet Security, which you may be able to find at Wal-mart, Target, Staples, etc.
One I have learned to avoid is Norton – it has become too bloated with unnecessary “features” that just make a computer bog down. I used Norton Internet Security for many years until their 2008 version and then gave up on them.
I’ve never had a virus reboot my computer. My moms does it all the time. It has a bad electrical connector going to the mother board. Power down your puter and check all the electrical connections. Good time to blow the dust out of everything while your in there. (blow out the inside the power supply too)
Make sure all your periferal cards are properly seated in their slots.
Some good info here. I’ve got some problems not related to this site. How do you clean the registry?
This will take care of registery and many other problems. (and it’s free)
