Something weird did happen yesterday, for the second time. I was on iTunes and {last time I was doing a project on my picture program} and then the cursor became an hourglass and continued to spin around.

The first time I was able to quit what I was doing and restart the computer. It said something about download being unable to complete because the computer shut down.

The second time, I couldn't shut down/restart because I was burning a cd at the time. When I finally did it it didn't say anything about it not being able to finish the download.

So. Today I get on line and am trying to send an e-mail and the computer just restarts itself, when it came back on it said there was a crash or something. I sent an error report to whomever it is I send them to but WTF???

What happened????

And, I haven't had a chance to have everyone power up at the same time...can't get everyone here at the same exact time with the time to do it.

I wouldn't mind sharing too much if it didn't mess up my time on line. Or in case they are evil.
Off the top of my head that sounds more like a heat problem. A clogged or dead fan or too much dust can cause random lockups like that. Of course so can a hard drive that's going bad or a program running amok. I would not worry about wireless intruders in this case.
