I have a Celeron CPU and I'm running Windows XP.

It has worked fine for the past year. But just a few days ago, it started rebooting randomly at least 10 times per day.

CPU temp is only 40c. CPU fan works fine. I ran AntiVIR and found no viruses. It seems clean.

What else should I do to try to diagnose this issue? I'm stuck.

Switch out sticks of ram, try a different PSU, try opening your case and give extra cooling to your PC, look at the capacitators on your mobo and check for leaking electrolyte and/or bulging caps.

list hardware please.

Also list cooling devices your using.

Hardware would be board, ram, cpu. The settings also would be very nice on what your running it on.

The cooling devices would be what type of sink your using, and also if possible a messurement of temperature. Try poping the side pannel off, and see if that stablizes anything.

No one can help you without knowing what you have. Its like calling a toyota dealor and saying your car is broken. They need to know what type of toyota it is, a previa? or a camry, b4 they can start working on it, or even help you to work on it.
