It's been happening for a few months now, but my computer's gotten worse over the last few weeks.

When i go to turn it on, i click my profile, and the desktop loads, and normally the comp just re-boots itself, no BSoD or anything, normally this happens 2/3 times in a row before it can actually load everything.

Before it would just work fine, but now even if i just load firefox and click on a website, the second i click the address... another re-boot. When a song on iTunes finishes, re-boot, sometimes, even when i try and open iTunes, or anything really.

Also i noticed that my hard drive was 100% full, so i un-installed WiC, which gave 4GB 2 days ago. 10 minutes ago, the first time i went on it since i un-installed there was 2.12 GB, then after it re-booted... 2.09GB left. So somethings taking up all my space, i know nothing about computers, but surely its related?

I get the BSoD sometimes, each time with a different message and everything, just randomly like the re-boots.

Could this have anything to do with faulty RAM maybe? Has anyone had this before?

Infact, it happened just now as i was typing this!

I have 1024mb RAM, btw.

Thanks in advance!

Power supply i would guess or possibly motherboard going bad...
The drive being full wouldn't cause reboots as far as i know?
Love is the answer

I got a new power supply when my graphics card died, just over a year ago. I'm using XP.
