Random Reboots, No BSOD

[undeadgarcia]

Problem: This all happened randomly one day, At first i was getting "Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply," i then turned it off in BIOS, unplugged all my power cables then plugged them back in thinking lose connection, then turned it back on. Now I'm getting...

Random reboots, its a hard reboot. NO crash screens, no BSOD, no ASUS power surge screen just goes black then post, then windows loads. I don't have to be doing anything special it can happen instantly after it reboots after reboot after reboot, i can be surfing the internet 5 minutes after boot then it reboots, i can get a solid hour playing a game then it reboots or i can just be idle then it reboots.

Things i tried to do to fix this:

1: Reconnect all cables, includding sata connections
2: New RAM
3: Brand new PSU
4: Returned all clocks and voltages to stock settings
4: Reinstall windows thinking i had some sort of infection...i didnt know what was wrong at this point...

Note: temps are fine, wall outlet grounded, surge protector is used.

Can a bad motherboard cause this? I gave it a once over, then a twice over with a magnifying glass, i see no physical damage front or back of the motherboard, no bent pins no places for a ground when installed, nothing.

Any ideas of what is wrong or how to solves this issue?

Try this and see if it shows a program, driver, or Windows update is causing the problem.

Was your system working fine for a while, and this just recently started?

So did it let you re-install Windows all the way? Did you get any crashes at that point?

Have you tried a different power connection? (Try directly to a wall outlet, try different surge protectors, try a battery backup).

In my mind, if you are only getting failures after Windows install has finished, there might be a problem with a device in the computer (and don't exclude the motherboard as a possible cause).

Hmmm, try going into bios for 5 hours and see if it reboots. or just boot into command prompt (dos). If it reboots then it's probably a hardware issue.

Just something I would try, disconnect the reset switch from the motherboard.

Next, I'd probably look at the power supply. If you got a spare one, try a different P/S. If that didn't work, I'd look at Video Card, RAM, unplug things like DVD, extra HD's, floppy, Or any other cards you might have installed.

Process of elimination.

Safe mode, anything in eventlog that may be telltale?
