Hmm, mine only do that when I reset the battery. Make sure your battery terminals are all nice and tight and aren't slipping on and off. Thats the only thing I can think of.

I hope its not something with your computer. I'm not an expert on that though. There MAY be some other issue. Maybe someone else will chime in. Just double check that battery for now.

no its the battery or the terminals...it was doing that to mine about 2 days ago and i opened the hood and there was a crapload of stuff on the negative terminal so i put baking soda and lemon and rinsed all the crap off with water and put the terminal back on and problem solved
