Strange problem.....need help on sudden reboot.

[digitalworkshop]

My comp is getting rebooted again and again for no reason.
its happening quite frequently.i get no message or any error report.
it just konks of on its own and restarts.

My comp's configuration is

Athlon XP 2500+
MSI K7N2 Delta series(motherboard)
Kingston 256 MB ram @ 400 MHz
AGP card is an old one from my previous comp.
it is a MSI Geforce MX 32MB SDRAM based.
Maxtor 30GB HDD.

I thought initially its because of rama nd replaced with another DIMM but no solution.
its still rebooting and its happening quite frequently.
Temperature of my comp goes up tp 53 degree at times.though i heard at the forum only that many people are running their 2500 XP+ at 2.2 Ghz by overclocking the FSB to 200Mhz. even i can do that and i tried and it did happen but then i pushed it back to its normal 1833Mhz fearing that this could cause more restarts.
pls i need help on this ASAP.
also if i change my FSB to 200Mhz and run my comp at 3200XP + at 2.2 Ghz will it cause any problems or change my system temperature further.i have just installed a system fan too to keep heating up in check.


thanx a lot.pls help me out in this ASAP.

3 things - RAM, powersupply or heat. CPU heatsink probably not properly installed. If running non-overclocked and getting 53C I say it is probably heat. My 2500+ running at 3200+ only goes up to 45C.
Also RAM may be set too aggressively or needs more voltage.
Maybe P/Supply too weak.
Who knows with an MSI booard - looks like another Xmas troubleshooting MSI - this is the reason I moved from FOUR MSI boards at one time to one at present and soon to be zero.
