Few people here will understand what you mean by IPL. The word usedfor personal computers is "boot," not "IPL." Your problem is very likely a hardware one, but read the following: If your computer is restarting spontaneously, you are presumablyblue-screening, and you are set to the default of rebooting wheneverthat happens. It's a poor default setting and you should change it.Right-click My Computer, and choose Properties. On the Advanced tab,click Settings under Startup and Recovery. Under System failure,uncheck the box "Automatically restart. Now when the problem occurs again, instead of restarting, you will getthe blue screen with diagnostic information.
