> Your problem is nothing more than static electricity being generated as
you move across the floor.  I'm willing to bet that you have plastic
composition soles on your shoes and you are walking across a length of
carpet.  The static electricity is generated as you walk.  The voltage you
develop can become quite high ie. several thousand volts.  When you get near
the computer which is grounded through the power cord a spark jumps from one
of your fingers to the nearest piece of metal.  The spark can even go
through plastic.  This can send a surge through the various circutes in your
computer and cause it to reboot.

> The cure is incredibly simple.  you can install a grounding strip on your
desk which you would touch first or you can prevent the generation of the
charge in the first place.  Get yourself a trigger spray bottle and fill it
with a mixture of one half water and one half any liquid fabric softener.
Spray the carpet with this mixture and spray a wiping cloth with the mixture
then wipe your keyboard, mouse and monitor with the cloth.  This will leave
a conductive coating on the carpet and all plastic surfaces of the computer,
which will help drain away any generated static.
