Computer randomly rebooting?

My computer is randomly rebooting, and I can not figure out the source of the problem. I have the up to date drivers for all my components.
This is my specs:
2 Ghz AMD Athlonxp 2600 processor
Asus A7n8x-deluxe
Asus ATI Radeon9800xt
512mb DDRKingston Hyperx
480Watt power supply
Audigy2

If anyone can help I am willing to pay.
Thanks
 
Put the Audigy 2 in PCI slot #4, go into the motherboard's BIOS and disable the onboard Firewire/MIDI/Gameport/Audio features that the Audigy2 duplicates, raise memory voltage to 2.7 volts, lock the memory to 100% of the CPU's bus speed and see how that goes. The power supply is a high-quality brand, I hope? Antec, Fortron, Sparkle Power or something of high quality?

(and if that fixes it, then payment is to donate some food to your food bank next time you see an opportunity 😀)
 
Wow! I just posted almost the EXACT same post a little while ago! I have the same problem, i have an A-XP 2700 with an A7N8X, 430w PS.. well, you can see the details down below...Sorry, i can't obviously offer any tips because i have the same exact problem.. good luck.
 
the first thing i would do is swap out power supplies (i know yours may be brand new, it doesn't mean it can't be defective though

next i would go on to testing memory (i would use memtest86, a floppy will do, 24 hours or at least 20 passes)

then i would definitely check that hard drive. you neglected to mention a brand, so whoever the maker is, grab their diagnostics and give it a thorough check.

those would be the primary sources of such an issue i think. good luck
 
Thanks guys, but I changed all the necessary info in my bios, plus I ran memtest86 the whoel weekend. I passed everything, and no errors. The computer still randomly reboots.
Any other solutions? thanks!
