Black Screen....then Restart

Ok. . . another problem. . . . a few instances, the computer goes to a black screen, and then restarts. There is no error message screen, no sounds or beeps to alert me and it restarts as if it's the first time booting up.

Does this do it all of a sudden or what? When does this happen?
Try to see what you're running at the time of the black screen occurances.

OP
I would say 90% of the time, it's when I'm on the internet.
 
I just downloaded the nvidia refresh fix and it hasn't done it for a while, so I'm thinking it might have had something to do with the monitor?
 
i guess we'll have to wait and see...
