Comp keeps restarting.

[Setsuni]

My comp is randomyl restarting. Sometimes during boot up, sometimes after 10 mins..

It just turns off then back on. Longest ive had it on was about 30 minutes prolly. Any ideas?

PSU prob?

 

[Setsuni]

IM not sure, ive tried different outlet, thought that might be it. I tried different ram, and thats not the prob. Overheating isnt a prob, cpu idles at 40C, and mobo is at 33C

sounds like a PSU problem. What PSU are you using?

 

[Setsuni]

antec truepower 350 W.. its been fine for the past year. u think its reached the end of its life?

 

[Lalakai]

does it usually reboot or freeze during a specific application, or random applications?

didyou do any recent modifications or additions to system?

 

[PurdueRy]

its fully possible. Have you turned off auto-restart for errors run into by the system to make sure its not a corrupt file?

 

[Setsuni]

no recent additions. its totally random


Sometimes during boot up, sometimes during idling at windows, sometimes during gaming.

Check your capacitors for leaks.
It looks, sounds and even fiqures to be PSU. Get a Fortron 450W on Newegg for $51, only a suggestion.

[Setsuni]
