Restart Problem & BSOD

[toofan]

Friends,
When I press start button of my pc, it starts for 3-5 seconds and then it restarts automatically & loads fine. And sometime during playing games like DMC 4 it shows BSOD and restarts.
My configuration is as follows.

C2Duo 6750.
2 gb ddr2 Ram
MSI P 35 Neo
260 Gb harddisk
Zebronic lava Cabinet with 400w PSU.
Light Scribe DVD R/W Drive.
19 Inch H P monitor.

At second startup it also shows that primary adapter is not installed or something like that.
What would be the problem.

The usual basic power cycle:
# Clean the vents on the psu using a dry brush or a can of compressed air, clean the fans, etc.
# Take your system back to default settings if overclocked
# Try with a different psu- a better one.
# Run orthos (google and download) stress test to test stability for 5 hours.
# run HD tune's error scan (google and download) to check for bad sectors.

Yup I will try this also but r u sure its a PSU problem.

Possibility is endless in a substandard psu. Which is why i mentioned to try with a better psu and then run orthos test. Reason being the psu might have allready damaged the components- or the psu itself. Only way to figure it out is by stress testing but best if stress testing is done on a proper psu- not a substandard one or else you are digging a grave for your system.

Yes psu problem. Some capacitor is going bad inside.
