Hi,

Please see my configuration in Signature. My desktop has started restarting randomly. At times it it restarts withing 3-4 seconds of turning it ON. At times stays till the Bios screen comes, other times Windows & boots and it restarts after 5-10 minutes. It doesnt stay On for more than 10 Minutes.

I have tried using one RAM stick in each slot, but it still does the same thing so issue is not with the RAM. I have checked temperatures (using tools like HWInfo) when it boots, but doesnt seem to go beyond 40 degrees, and other motherboard parameters too look OK. So I'm left with only conclusion that the SMPS has gone bad.

Any other suggestions for testing ???

I do not recommend meddling with your OS just yet as you mentioned that it even reboots from BIOS load.

Try booting with linux as suggested above and if it works, then check your windows. If it doesnt, then try using another PSU. disconnect your GC for time being and verify each component of the core pc first.

Do keep us posted.

1. load bios defaults and see
2. check cpu's fan running fine and processor is not loosen up
3. try you smps to other PC
4. check RAM modules on different PC.

do things as ordered above.

considering u have good Anti Virus installed and has no virus
the restarting is due to your faulty SMPS

so test it with another SMPS
