I have had this problem before, and it was due to the motherboard touching the metal part of the case. I solved this by gluing peices of wood to the mobo (do it yourself kind of guy). This time I think it could be due to my C2D 2.13ghz overheating. The CPU fan (it is a very big model) came off by its 2 top screws (lol couldnt figure out how to put them in). The temps read 90+C in speedfan when I noticed the fan running very high. THen the comp restarted. Then kept restarting a few seconds after I booted it. I don't know if this is due to overheating or a short circuit on the motherboard. I installed everything and suspended the motherboard in midair so I don't think the motherboard shorting is the problem. Could the CPU overheating have possibly been the problem??
