Massive PC Problem

[LeftEyeNine]

Yep : Reboots of non-particular intervals are mostly heat problems. Check your fan, heatsink, your case's air flow etc. Grab your vacuum cleaner and hold it close to CPU and system fans, it'll suck the overloaded dust. And if necessary, you may take a cotton ear cleaner and wipe the fans to perfection

I had a similar thing happening when my RAM died, but it didn't happen often before the PC just refused to boot though.

Thanks for the help. I'll try out all possible solutions and get back to ya.

Cheers!

doc_bean raises a good point. Sometimes random reboots can indicate the impending failure of a component.

This place http://www.pcpitstop.com/ has a suite of tests and a good afteraction report; I highly recommend it for a quick (no more than 10 minutes) series of tests that will point up potential hardware & software issues. NOTE: it will require you to authorize the download of their ActiveX testing module, to conduct the tests. I promise it's harmless.

Such RAM problems are accompanied by "blue screen" errors as well. If you have happened to see some lately, yes, RAM problem is a possibility. For the first trial, eject and re-insert RAM modules, PC problems do not always have to be complex
