Smitten by Computers..
My system reboots on its own every few hours. Its driving me crazy. I am not able to figure out what exactly the problem is. Hope you guys can help me out.
Here are a couple of observation i have made.
1. Reboots are random. It happens once every 6-9 hours. Its not frequent.
2. I have reinstalled vista. I still have the problem. This should rule out any software related issue. (No virus, spyware, other conflicts)
3. The temperatures are normal. There is no overheating in any component.
4. I ran a stability stress test(using everest) for 2 hours, the system did not reboot. The reboots are totally random.
5. The voltages from smps(Powersafe 400W) seem to be fine.
6. Very rarely, i have this issue where my system refuses to switch on. My motherboard(Intel 945GNT) produces 3 beeps. It boots fine if i disconnect the power, leave it for a few minutes, and connect it back.
7. I am using APC UPS. I dont think there is anything wrong with it..
8. One more important thing. There is no error message, or blue screen of death. Just plain reboots.
I think this has to be a hardware related issue. Its got to be either the power supply or the motherboard.
My config in brief: Pentium D805 + Intel D945GNT + Geforce 9500GT + PowerSafe 400W + 2GB 667 MHz Transcend RAM + Sony DVD Writer.
Please leave a reply if you have any suggestions..
