Wasn't there a recent thread about overheating?

Anyway, spontaneous reboots on laptops are often due to a fan hardware
failure or other problem that prevents the fan from recognizing an
overheating condition.

Money requires more processing power than most other programs, so an
incipient overheating condition is likely to manifest there first.

It doesn't sound like file corruption to me, but there are many people here
who know more than I do. They may feel differently, but you might want to
check it out first.

Do you have another system / CP you can use?
I have seen software crashs and problems caused by undetected hardware
failures.

You should still have your pre M06 update backups created when you
updated and opened the old files, so all is not lost especially if
you have an installable old version.

Try deleting transactions in the problem accounts in a COPY of your
file until the symptom disappears. Identify the problem
transactions, and delete them. Re-enter them.


Alternatively, print out your registers. File-> Export those two
accounts. Delete the problem accounts. Then File-> Import the QIF
files. Fix up the messed up transfers that result. Remember to keep
copies in case you want to undo something.

Looking for some help and assistance correcting an apparently corrupt Money
file that results in my laptop rebooting when I have Money open (but not
immediately on open). Worked with MS support to try file repair (level 2
fails), then selectively deleted the accounts that appeared to cause problem
(Amex and Schwab). Repair files executes successfully when accounts are
deleted. Trouble is, I need them, and have been using Money as my personal
finance software since 2001.

1) Is this a known problem?
2) Is is related to Money 2006, that I upgraded to 2 weeks ago?
3) How can I fix it?
