    My new dell inspiron keeps restarting apparently randomly. However it seems to happen only when I am running windows media player. If I just play a song for a minute or so it will suddenly reboot. Also, it doesn't seem to be able to play videos (theres no video, just the sound). The version of WMP is the latest, and it should be fine (I am running it on another computer too).

    Is there anything I can try? Has this problem occurred before?
