My computer randomly restarts when typing in Word, what's going on

[Hawkeye]

My computer randomly restarts when I'm typing in Word, what's going on? I've
done the windows and office updates, virus scanns and the lot and It's not
fixing it.

You'll need to turn off Speech Recognition. Take a look under the
Tools menu and click the Speech command if there is a check mark next
to it.

Alternatively, is it definitely only Word or could it be a problem with your
computer? Have you tried running any other application for any length of
time?
