Is My Computer Dying???

I've been having a couple of computer issues in the last week or so. Firefox crashes often... it never did before... and my computer just restarts itself all of a sudden for no apparent reason. Adrian said it sounded like a hardware issue and that my computer is probably about to crash. It's pretty old... about 7 years now. Then a couple of days ago my virus software found a bug... a pretty small one called TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen.... Avira got rid of it within a couple of minutes so I thought that was my issue. Nope.... computer restarted itself again today. So I've spent the day backing up my files... copying some to Adrian's computer and some to my extra lil storage drive that he put in mine awhile back. I have 100's of rare Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac mp3's (concerts and demos).... all my pics of Steffie and the Grandbabies... plus all of my business files... none of which I want to even think about losing. So hopefully now they are all copied in safe places. I was also able to figure out how to save my e-mail files on Incredimail.... and my bookmarks on Firefox... so if my poor old computer does crash everything should be safe and transferable when I'm able to get a new computer.

But then I read on another blog that Blogger and Firefox are having issues... and other people are having the Firefox crash issue due to that. So that makes me feel better about the stability of my computer. But I don't know if the restarting on it's own is connected to that..... anyone know??? Either way... the back-up needed doing. I hope my computer doesn't die :( .... I'm quite attached to her....
