This has just started happening in the last few days. This computer has been running for almost 2 years without any problems. Just recently, it just randomly reboots (reboots have come more and more frequent). I have been doing basic stuff like surfing the web or talking on IM most of the time.

Some info about my computer: Antec case w/ 300 W PS, 1.2 ghz t'bird, epox 8k7a mobo, 2x256 pc2100 crucial ram, 80 gig WD SE hard drive, GeForce 4 4200 vid card, windows xp OS

So far, I have done a system restore dated back to the beginning of last month, run Inoculate 7 virus scan that didn't detect anything, and gone to properties under My Computer and turned off Reboot on error or something like that in the settings there.

I was going to reinstall windows xp to see if something is corrupted but I'm guessing maybe my Power Supply is crapping out on me? any other suggestions? Thanks
