If you can identify when it started, and identify what may have |

changed around then, go back to whatever you used before then :) |

Otherwise I would suspect hardware, and would start with testing RAM |
| 10 |
and things like that. Pull the plug on the hard drive(s) and boot off |
| 11 |
a LiveCD and see if it still reboots. Try pulling some of the RAM |
| 12 |
modules and see it the problem gets better or worse... things like |
| 13 |
that. |

Firefox uses a lot of RAM, and would cause network activity, so it's |
| 16 |
possible if there's a problem with the network driver or port (or |
| 17 |
wireless?), or a RAM issue, maybe its' triggering it because it is a |
| 18 |
heavy resource user. I had some weird issues with one particular buggy |
| 19 |
build of madwifi a long time ago that would cause weird things to |
| 20 |
happen only during heavy network utilization. |
