I am trying to fix an our church's computer that constantly reboots itself randomly.
95% of the time it usually reboots while in the boot process even before windows drivers have begun to be loaded into memory, sometimes before the ram has even been detected, other times shortly after the hdd has been detected.
Sometimes I can make it into windows for about 1-2 minutes, but usually restart itself about 10-20 seconds into boot process.
I've been able to eliminate the problem down to the motherboard, cpu or the psu. Since I don't have any spare parts to swap out how can I go about narrowing it down to these last three components.
Its an old celeron computer from 2001. So its understandable that a component eventually died on it.
Any help is appreciated.
