OK, I have had this issue for a little while now and am quite perplexed by it. It would seem that most often, but not always, when I am streaming a show from Hulu or Netflix, my system randomly reboots. Sometimes I can watch an entire movie with no problem, sometimes 5 minutes into it and POOF!!!, 'reboot'. When the system has recovered ~85% of the time I will get a standard "The system has recovered from a serious error" message, sometimes I will lose my active desktop, sometimes not.
Now I am no expert at programming, but not inexperienced. I suspect a java error linked to Silverlight, but I'm not 100% sure of this either.
** I have tried reinstalling (uninstalled 1st) Silverlight (3,4,and 5) and updated as it requested. I have tried updating my Java as well, these seem to make no change in the issue.
** I have tried using different browsers, FireFox, Chrome, and IE..., still randomly reboots.
** I have tried changing cache size..., no improvement.
** I have tried updating video drivers, no improvement.
** I checked my hardware;
1) replaced my RAM sticks (after finding some error reporting), no improvement.
2) cleaned cooling fans (all reports now run cooooool), no improvement.
3) ran full diagnostics on Hard-Drives (no reportable errors), no improvement.
4) checked voltages various times under processing stress (no issues found), no improvement.
5) stressed video card running various programs, DVD movies, etc.(no errors found), no improvement.
It would seem that I can do anything I want with this machine except relax and watch a Netflix/Hulu movie.
I do not subscribe to any incompatability issues between XP and Silverlight, since there are 2 other XP units in the house that don't have this issue, and 1 Vista unit without issue. It seems to be just THIS machine.
Anybody got any ideas???
