Internal power error - stop 0x000000A0

Internal power error - stop 0x000000A0

hi does anyone has a idea why i get this with vista ultimate, i was running
xp media center 2005 before and never had this blue screen it is new since
vista ultimate upgrade.

I am having the same problem. I have a new computer that came loaded with
Vista and Windows Media Center. From the first time I accessed the Media
Center, the computer will shut down and blue screen appears with the same
internal power error stop message. It only happened a couple of times after I
first set up the computer and then it was fine for a while. Now whenever I
leave my computer on for more than a couple of hours I see that it shuts
itself down and goes to this same blue screen error message. Any help would
be appreciated. I have seen on some other web sites suggestions to upgrade
the BIOS, but since my computer is new and came loaded with Vista I can't
imagine that would be necessary.

It's a new computer, it shouldn't be giving error messages like this. Have
talked with the computer tech support?
