My computer has been mercilessly restarting on me all day and for a good portion of last night. I'm running Windows ME (yeah, I know), with a nearly 1 Ghz processor and 256 Megs of RAM. Some of it's most popular methods of restarting seem to be giving me the Blue Screen of Death and saying "Windows protection error, system has been halted, you need to restart your computer" or something to that effect. Sometimes, it freezes up and these odd short green vertical lines will appear across the top of the screen.
Occasionally, it also just flat out restarts on me with no warning whatsoever.
Is this a common problem among ME users? I'm stuck with ME as a system because I bought the comp used and don't have the money to upgrade. What can I do to stabalize this damn thing?
