My computer has started to reboot on its own and it is getting more
frequent. It also will not reboot sometimes and I have to spend
several minutes hitting the switch over and over. I have ran virus
checker, worm and trojan checkers, scandisk, defraged and even
cleaned the inside of the case from dust bunnies. I also ran MEMTEST86
for a few passes and it checked out ok. So does anyone have any other
ideas on what/how to check else??
p.s. I have only have this computer for 11 months :-(
my system is described below
-------------------------------------
WinXP
ASUS A7N8X-UAY 400Mhz FSB
CPU AMD|2500+/333 Athlon XP Barton
Connect 3d|Radeon 9600 128M DVI/TV video card
DDRAM 256MG|DDR400 CL25 PC3200 Kingston X2 = 512 Megs o ram
HD 80GB|WD 7200RPM 8mb cache
CDRW/DVD COMBO48X24X48X16|LITE ON

Check (if applicable) the voltage sent to the CPU, the memory;
the memory timings; the battery voltage; everything is seated ok.
In particular the power connectors to the mainboard etc.
If you have a spare PSU, it would be worth testing via that.
FSP/Fortron/Sparkle PSUs are fine - glossy paint jobs don't help 🙂

Would be worth trying a different PSU if you can get hold of one.
