My computer resets randomly...

[Computerduck]

Let me guess... I need a new power supply? Here's everything running that need's power:

Rosewill 350W 12V PSU

Soltek nVidia nForce3 mobo

Athlon 64 2800+ (oc'd to 2.2 ghz)

Radeon 9800 pro 128mb 256bit (oc'd to 390 core speed 365 memory speed)

Kingmax 512mb DDR 400 PC-3200 RAM

Sony DVD CD-R/W 52x/32x/52x/16x

Hitachi 80GB SATA HDD

It LOOKS like I have enough voltage in the BIOS, but I've never heard of anything else causing the computer to randomly reset. Am I right or wrong?

u're guessing right ;-) new PSU will solve the problem.

I see you went all out on a power supply!
A 64 2800 OC'd to 2.2... What kind of temps are you running?
What FSB are you running your DDR at?

"It LOOKS like I have enough voltage in the BIOS"... What does that even mean? If you're OCing who knows what kind of voltages you'll need to stay stable?

Have you tried running everything at default settings??

If it works, then deifinitely PSU.. go for something with say, 420W.

And don't forget good voltages to the rails either...

Actually, I fixed my problem. I checked my battery in BIOS, and it actually had some power in reserve. I found a BIOS setting in voltage control which said, 10x2000mhz, 11x2200mhz, etc. I thought to myself, "hey! 2.2ghz =2200mhz. Maybe......." So I checked that, and everything seems to be running peachily. I might upgrade my PSU this Christmas anyway just for kicks.

To answer Blain's questions, there is a place in my particular BIOS which tells me how much juice I'm using. With some simple math, I can figure out whether or not I'm running my battery too hard. My temps are running at 30C under full load with no problems. My CPU is at 43C. As for my DDR, I haven't had the guts to manipulate that... Is it really that big of a deal?
