My old rig has recently started to reboot itself. Its like the reset button has been hit.

It happens when it's cold, or hot. Sometimes happens in quick succession, other times several hours go by.

It's an old tulution celeron 1.1 that has been running at 1.47 ghz for a few years now. I lowered it back to 1.1 to see if that helped. It didn't. The motherboard is a st6 abit. The video card is a pny geforce 3 ti500.

I ran a memory test on it. That checks out fine.

The machine is clean. Fresh arctic silver on the heatsinks. The power supply is good.

Any ideas as to whats causing it?

I know I need a new machine, but this one does all I ask of it, and I'm putting a new roof on the house and really don't care to spend a pile of money right now.


Thanks :)

It's brand new. The problem started with the old power supply.

Well, assuming you have either Win2k or WinXp, have you checked in Event Viewer?
