Let me pick your brains

Okay here is a problem that is bugging the hell out of me.....and got really wierd tonight.

Problem: My computer will randomly reboot, then as it is restarting, it reboots again before it loads windows, then it is fine.
Tonight the same thing was happening, I thought I would test my ram with Memtest86 and my computer was turning off during the test. But the wierd thing was that the power light on my case was still on. This is a brand new Antec 350 True Blue, so I didnt think it was this. So I pushed the power button again, and nothing happened. I had to push the master switch to off then on, on my power bar then my computer will restart. It did this twice in a row...now it works fine. Ran Memtest86 and it said the ram was good. Ran Sisoftsandra....and everything was fine. Could this be my motherboard going bad....like the power connectors or something?????

Please help guys. Thanks

I'd experiment with increasing Vcore for CPU stability and relaxing memory timings for memory stability.

Hope this helps!

okay, i dont play with overclocking....I have everything set to defaults...or Auto, could the CPU be underpowered?

Shut down, remove power from wall, and reseat all connectors and cards - particularly your memory sticks. Remove the memory sticks and reseat them very firmly.

Hope this helps!

This may be too simple, but make sure the power switch wires are properly seated on the correct mobo location with the correct polarity.
