Computer randomly shuts down?
So I bought a Gateway with Intel Core 2 Quad processor with Vista.
I was checking emails today and all of a sudden I heard the fan (at least I think it is the fan) kick on and the computer restarted. This happened the other day but the computer was idle, so I didn't think much of it. The computer showed no warning of restarting. I mean the computer wasn't doing much of anything. Any idea of what might be causing this other than it being Microsoft? Jam it back in, in the dark.

Motherboard? It's a brand new computer. What should I do?
There's nowhere I can't reach.

BSOD? I haven't seen that in forever...
But since the A/C in my apartment is working now, I'm gonna watch it and use that program. My apartment has been at a nice 85 - 88 the past few weeks. If it starts acting up again though, I'll take it back to Best Buy and demand they fix it. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It is most likely the computer overheating.
I checked the core temperatures and I found that 2 of the cores are at 50 C and the other two are at 45~48 C. I'm sure when then apartment heats up in the day it gets even hotter. I'll post logs in a day or so to see if that is the case. either my fans are super quiet or they don't work. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
