Random reboots!!!!! Emergency help before my comp reboots again!!!!!

[majewski9]

I have an Iwill KK266, an Athlon 1.33, and a Inwin 300 watt mid tower case. I woke up this morning and heard my computer rebooting several times. I turned it off. Then investigated the power supply and atx connector. I didnt see anything funny. I tried pulling out the power supply but it wouldnt budge. I then decided to turn the machine back on. I did and it ran fine for a couple hours. Then it made this weird noise! I didnt know what it was. At first I thought a wire hit the fan. It kept on rebooting. It would get to the BIOS screen and then restart over and over. I turned off the machine again. Then after a couple hrs playing some Age of empires two it did it again. I think it might be the power supply or my IWILL KK266 mobo. I am not sure which. I bought the mobo in April and the case this august. Both have worked fine since I bought them. I kinda want to upgrade my mobo anyways but I dont want to get a power supply. I just want to know what to buy or how to fix this problem! Has anyone else had the same thing happen to them? If so how did you fix it? Thanx!

The easiest thing to do would be to borrow a friend's 300W power supply for a few hours and see if that's the problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya...

yeah, borrow a p/s and see if that is the problem or not. if it isn't, the work is going to get a little more tedious. The easiest way is to try another motherboard.
