I had my 3-yr old 486 fitted with a new power supply by the
manufacturers (Tiny) in order to have a quieter fan. Since it's been
back (a week), the same thing has happened several times; while
downloading news into Turnpike via a USR Courier v34 DS modem, the
screen suddenly switches back to the normal DOS prompt and everything
stops instantly, and it looks just as if I'd exited Windows properly. No
previous problems anything like this in any way. Turnpike say they've
never heard of this happening before. Any guesses? I'm wondering about
possible brief breaks in the mains supply that are too short to see,
resetting the machine.
