computer randomly rebooting...ahhh

My main PC is randomly rebooting. Any suggestions from the experts out there.

Asus P3V4X board
Intel 600E (not overclocked)
Asus AGP-V3800C (TNT2) video
384MB of PC133 memory
Asus 52X CD-ROM drive
IBM-DPTA-372050 20GB Hard drive
NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet NIC
Intel 8255x Ethernet NIC
Yamaha 4x IDE burner CRW4416E
Logitech keyboard
Creative SB Live!
plain MS PS/2 scroll mouse

I thought there was something wrong with the OS. I reloaded the OS and the box is still randomly rebooting. Win2k recognized all devices except for the TNT2 card and got drivers from their site. I applied Win2k SP2.

I also ran a memory test and all the memory checks out fine.

The box has ran fine for a year and a half and there have been no problems

Thanks for any ideas.

Any chance that something has become somewhat loose? You could try reseating everything a bit.
Blow out the insides with some compressed air while you're at it 😉

Possible PSU problem? Is the fan in it running? Is the PSU seem quite hot?

Any recent power problems? spikes/surges perhaps?

VERY random rebooting? Or is there at least one method that will reproduce a reboot?
 
They are very random reboots. None last night. 5 a couple of nights ago.

I will try the suggestions.

Thanks
Yadda
