- The second time rebooted when i installed sudo
- The third time when configuring skype
- The fourth loading weather forecast

The battery was low so leave it alone charging.

This morning i tried to update the weather forecast and boom another reboot.

I opened the terminal to look to /boot/bootreason to see the cause of the reboot, it contains: 32wd_to that means was the watchdog that reboots the terminal.

I also made a dmesg to see if there was some errors and boom reboots again.

Is there any way to further investigate the problem ?
May be an hardware failure ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
not sure if this will help. i recently boiught a used hp laptop and for no reason it would shut down after about 45minutes or so. so what i did was remove the battery. well it solved the problem. so if i had a nokia n900 i would see if i could run the device without the battery and plugged in. maybe the charge controller or the battery is faulty. its an easy test let me know what happens.
