Random resets

Hey. Ive been experiancing random resets with my comp. They dont happen very often as ive had it running all day and it just reset itsself there. I thought it might be the PSU but im not sure. My comp is a Pentium III 600 x2//768MB pc100 SDRAM//80GB 7200rpm hdd and its running on a 350W PSU that has the same make as my case "iCute" its got 18Amps on the presumably single 12v rail. Could that be whats causing the resets?

Here are voltages from speedfan, if they help:

COREA: 1.71V
COREB: 1.68V
+3v3V: 3.34V
+5V: 4.97V
+12V: 12.86V
-12V: -13.57V
-5V: -5.60V

What does the BSOD say? Have you done all Windows updates? Do you have the latest drivers for all of your hardware? Does it do the same thing in safe mode?
 
There is no BSOD, it simply resets itsself, yes, yes and i dont know, its not somthing that happens often. Once a day, maybe twice.

Nothing, the last recorded error was 3 days ago when firefox crashed.
 
Think ive figured it out, i had 3 fans plugged into the same wire that the hard drive was on, i had a similar problem before in another comp and removing the fans and plugging them into the cd-rom molex solved it. As with each reset somthing would make an unusual click inside and i think it mustve been the hdd.

Ill see if thats it solved, as it takes like a day for it to randomly reset.
