Hi,
Hoping someone can help me. I just built a pc on the weekend (and i built the same one a few weeks ago which worked fine) with specs:
XP2800+
Gigabyte 7N400-L
160GB hdd
512mb Corsair Pc3200
After i had installed Windows XP and some other programs, the pc crashes on me and reboots. I thought this was a once off but then it continued. Sometimes it reboots by itself and then after restarting and getting to the welcome screen of XP it crashes again, sometimes doing this a number of times before it starts working.
I checked all the cables and they are fine, so i'm thinking it is a software problem.
Not sure if this is the problem, but i accidentally smudged a bit of compound (very small) onto the cpu outside of area that it was supposed to.
Thanks!!!
