We're hoping this will put an end to recurring, unasked for re-boots and sudden connectivity loss. All very annoying.
Sounds like what's been going on with my desktop, except my re-boots never completed -- the screen would go dark and the CPU fan would rev up but the whosit that actually restarts the computer never did anything. I had more than one techie try to figure it out. Once I got a message upon restart about "improper CPU speed" but couldn't figure out what to do about it. At least it wasn't happening all that often.
It's a Sony so the motherboard is proprietary and not amenable to a quick swap, as you've done (good luck with that!). Yesterday I just ordered a laptop, which I'd been wanting anyway, and I'll use the desktop as backup.
