Random restarts! I've been experiencing them since I bought my PC (Over a year!). It's a custom Rig with the build:
AMD X2 3800+ 2.0 Ghz
Zalman CPU Fan
1.5 GB Corsair XMS
500 GB Sea Gate HDDR
OCZ 700W PSU
Nvidia 7950GT 256MB
BIOSTAR 6100 M9 Motherboard
I know it's not the RAM because I used Windows Memory Diagnostic and the test showed my memory was fine, also I would imagine that 700W would be enough with all that hardware so we can rule that out. The only other things I can think of is a motherboard chip issue or CPU over heating but I unchecked the "Automatic Restart" in the "Startup and Recovery" tab in "System Properties" to see if I would get an error message about CPU temperature but I didn't get an error message just a random restart again. Please guys if you think you know or have an idea for me to try let me hear it because I don't want to build a new Rig. I put too much money into this one not to get at least another year out of it.
