Netflix shuts down computer
When using firefox, the computer shuts down completely when Netflix is showing a movie or tv program. Does it for firefox 3.x and 4.0.
does it do it with IE8 or IE9 also?

No, it's okay with IE8 but in firefox after loading and playing for a few minutes the computer shuts completely down.

Thanks for your reply nobus:
It only takes between 2 to 5 minutes to shutdown so I don't think it would be the power saver settings. Remember it seems to work with IE8 but not with Firefox. The link you sent me seems promising; it might need cleaning. This is a friend's machine and she has pets and dander around the house so I will try to clean it out with compressed air.
I'll let you know if that works.

if it is a laptop, best open it to clean it
if you blow the air into the vents, the dust will accumulate inside the laptop
