I've had my machine for a few months now, and it started shutting down while in windows and restarting. This would happen after the machine was on for hours at a time (usually when I was at work).
Now if I do so much as plug the machine into the wall, it will turn on and immediately reboot, before it even has a chance to POST usually.
I tried replacing the motherboard and power supply so far, and removed the RAM to see if that was the problem. Exchanging the motherboard fixed the problem for a couple of days, and now its back to the same old problem. I'm thinking now I have a problem with my processor, but it never was overheating before, even when the computer restarted.
My specs are:
Asus A8N SLi Delux motherboard (brand new, just replaced)
Athlon64 3000+
1GB ram (forget the brand)
Geforce 6800
300GB Western Digital
200GB Maxtor
Creative Audigy 2
Antec 350watt PSU (brand new, just replaced)
