its amd 64 3400 754
motherboard K8ns by gigabyte
512mb ram (generic)
300watt psu (crappy)
abit ti4200
120gb
aiw ati pci

The problem is that this pc reboots suddently. Maybe every 30 - 200 min or so. What are the possible problems?

oh and the first time this happened, when i was playing NFS underground. Second time. When i opened like 50 firefox windows. 3rd time when i was asleep. 4th time when i was trying to post this message

um, didn't you answer your own question? 512mb ram (GENERIC) 300watt psu (CRAPPY) sorry, but a 300watt psu could be pushing it, and the generic ram could be ungood.

virus? that's dumb, why do people blame stuff on viruses?

nsfu actually utilizes your cpu and gfx card, which needs more power

generic ram sucks, replace it

generic psu sucks even more, replace it immediately (it's harming your computer everytime you use it)
