Solve : Stereo and PC both reset/shorted...?

1.	Solve : Stereo and PC both reset/shorted...?
Answer» I was watching a video on my PC using VLC media player and both my PC and stereo SUDDENLY reset. I haven't made any recent changes to my PC at all. I have noticed that when I updated my graphics card driver a couple of weeks ago, that it has added a new audio device to play audio through HDMI. I have my SOUNDCARD set as the default device though and hasn't CAUSED any problems to date. Both still seem to work okay, but it has done this a couple of times today. I don't want to risk damaging anything if something is wrong. Any ideas what it could be?? Here's the details of what hardware/software I am using: Windows 7 64-bit ultimate i5-2500k CPU Asus P8H67 Mb 8GB Samsung DDR-3 RAM WD 1TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6670 graphics card (Catalyst VERSION 12.3) USB M-Audio Connectiv soundcard Sony stereo connected via phono cablesAre they on an AC power strip ? ? If so it's time to replace it...Yes they are, thanks for the quick response.Anytime... Welcome Aboard !
