    My dad had the same problem a few months ago. His fix was to do a system restore from a 30 day old save and then completely remove Java. He seems to be working okay now.

    I've removed Java and Dell Support as they have been the ongoing problems. We'll see how it goes. The computer restarted two times since I posted this thread. Makes it difficult to leave the computer for more than 45 minutes or so, and come back to what I was doing when it is all gone.

    Usually the task that restarts the computer leaves an entry in the System Event Log. Does anything there give a clue as to what is happening?

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    I apologize for not being up on my computer knowledge, but could you tell me how to access that log?

    Oh no problem.

    Open up the control panel. Then go to administrative tools, then open up the event viewer.

    You'll have the options on the left, open them all up until you find System and then click that.

    In the middle/right, you'll see a bunch of event entries. Start going down the list by time until you find something that makes "sense" in the description about the restart. It's kind of educated guesswork but there may be a clue in it. If you're having no luck finding any clues, there's a way to export that log and you could send it to me in email to take a look.
