hah, my girlfriend is having a peculiar problem when she runs microsoft word (XP)
Her current system:
ECS K7S5A (revision II)
AthlonXP 1700
256 SDRAM
WinXP Home
Well, it seems that sometime during her computer usage (whenever word is running--whether it be infocus or even minimized) her computer will shut down (not a proper shut down, just a power off).
My friend's girlfriend has been having problems with her K7S5A and powering off as well.. maybe this is a common issue?
Has anyone else had this problem before?

I used to have a problem just like that, but the source of the problem was the BIOS setup. I had enabled the computer to be turned on by pressing either any key or either mouse button, but my computer kept turning off without explanation. Finally, I went into my BIOS setup and disabled this feature, so that now only the power button in the front can turn the computer on or off. Problem solved!
