Hi internet,

I recently installed my new mobo a Gigabyte GA 990FXA UD3 Rev 3.0. I have experienced 2 random restarts since then, first was while watching youtube. Second while doing nothing on the desktop. No error message or anything. Just restarts for no reason. Everything aside from the mobo is new and worked fine on my old Biostar mobo. I hope someone can help me identify the cause of this.

Here are my specs:

Phenom 2 X2 555 (Stock)
GA 990FXA UD3 Rev 3.0
Gskill Ripjaws 1600 2x4 @1333 (Boot Fail at 1600 xmp setting)
Gainward Phantom GTX 660Ti
OCZ Fatality 750w
WD 500gb Sata


Thanks in advance! :)
 


Thanks for the advice. I will give this a try and see how it goes. Its pretty hard to trigger the restart not knowing what actually causes it so this may take a few days. I will post back here once I have an update.
