PC Keeps Rebooting

I have an Athlon 600 on a gigabyte GA-71XE mobo, matrox mystique gfx card. Everything was working fine untill it run out of space. Then is started rebooting after about 15 mins of uptime. I removed some stuff to get some space back and ran scandisk in safe mode. After several tries I finally managed to get the machine booted again, then after a couples of mins, it reboots again. After a few more tries it started rebooting on windows loading. I then formatted the hard drive and installed Win Me on it. In the middle of installing it crashed (not reboot), i then rebooted and it finished installing WinMe. I was able to boot into WinMe okay and load on the relevant drivers. I then started copying files back to it over my network and in the middle of copying the machine rebooted again. I then re-formated and starting installing Win 98SE, which rebooted in the middle of installation. I have run PC Check-It to test the processor, memory, hard drive but no errors were detected. Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be.

But the machine has been working fine for about 6 months. Don't see why anything would need changing.
 
You could check your cooling,and try minimal install of hardware gear,then try installing OS,I`ve seen Windows freeze on install with modems and NIC cards installed,it`s possible you may have a hardware fault somewhere,don`t trust software diagnostic programs,I had one that said my cpu was fine,but turned out it was faulty.
