It is driving me nuts and I'm running out of ideas on how to fix this...
My computer has been restarting randomly everytime that I try to use it. Sometimes I'm working on Windows and it restarts w/out notice or anything. After a period of restarting by itself, it won't even go past the Bios load-up. I tried everything... changed to a brand new power supply, brand new motherboard (thought the problem was the MB first, send the old one i had and the current one was from the RMA), new memory, and I just bought a new hard drive as well. I tried to boot up w/out the hard drive but no success, it was still restarting on its own. I installed the new hard drive w/out Windows and it still restarts...
I disabled the Auto-restart setting that you guys recommend but it doesn't give a BSOD. My computer is with a friend of mine right now so i can't check for minidumps. Does it give one if you don't get the BSOD?
Checked the memory with memtest and came out clean...
I forgot to mention that i switched the video card as well to see if it was that but no success. Did the same with the CPU...
Here are my settings:
Pentium 4 3.0ghz 800mhz FSB
MSI NEO-2 865PE Platinum Edition MB
120GB Barracuda SATA HD 7200RPM
Geforce Nvidia 6600GT
Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card
Thermaltake XP-90C CPU cooler
BFG 650W (SLI ready) Power Supply w/ dual 12v rails (didn't have time to check the rails but it should be fine, plenty of power and it's a good power supply)
Temperatures also look fine, i have a good CPU cooler and also two fans blowing heat out.
I will try to check to see if i have any minidumps tomorrow when i get the computer back but in the mean time any other suggestion? It's frustrating really...
