I have a major issue that I desperately want to solve. I have about 18 BRAND NEW PCs with EXACT same configuration (e.g. same Motherboard, graphics card, CPU, HD, RAM, PSU etc) and out of the 18 four are giving me random reboots. All the PCs were custom built. The Specs are:
Intel Pentium IV 2.4 GHZ
Intel Motherboard D865PCDL (i thought i would get intel MB and CPU thinking i would minimize incompatibilities but to my surprise i still have headaches)
Windows XP PRO
PowerColor ATI Radeon 9250 128mb/64bit
512 RAM generic unknown name/brand
PSU 300WATTS unknown name/brand
No FDD, No CD/DVD rom drive. Its a bare bones PC in terms of pheriperals.
Now the PC reboots completely random, that is without playing games or music files or anything, basically the desktop screen, it will just reboot on its own. I strongly feel it cannot be a bios issue because the other 14 PCs are ok and have the same BIOS and the drivers as well are all the same. To illustrate how random it can be, i had the PC on for 10 days straight and no reboot/crash/minidump. Then suddenly today it had 5 crashes. Again, no hardware changes at all. I thought, maybe overheat but then how come the 14 other PCs do not crash at all even when they are on 24/7.
If anyone could even give a slight hint as to the problem much would be appreciated. Again, my basis for comparison is that 14 other PCs with exact same configuration are very STABLE. This leads me to think it cannot be a driver/bios issue. Besides, i am already running the latest bios as I mentioned these are brand new PCs. Many thanks for any info as I've read through various tips (memory test and cleaning were done) and attached are the most recent minidumps.
