System Restarts Alone

[pedrof2]

Hi,

I would like to speak about a problem i got with my new pc, sometimes it restart alone or when i click somewhere or something but i could never figure out why? It always happened in a different way, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I already checked for virus, trojans, ad-ware, etc...

Have Service Pack 2 on,

The PSU is a Antec NeoPower 480W.

What are the specs of your system?

Is anything overclocked?

Just a quicky I'd throw out, it could be your RAM, you may want to run a diagmostics program that'll test your RAM to make sure everything's kosher.

there must be some ghost in that machine?! 🙂

My system specs? There´s a link on my signature for that 😉

And no, i dont have anything overclocked, that´s the first thing i did, turn everything off...

Problem solved!. I switched the Zalman CNPS7000B-CU3200 CPU Cooler that i had installed with the one that comes with the AMD 3500+ Processor. The PC no longer restarts alone, and... this is weird but the temperature inside the case droped 😛

Glad to hear it. Most of the time this has to do with either an underpowered PSU or heat. 🙂

Yeah, heat will do that kind of stuff, glad to hear everything's working!

My system specs? There´s a link on my signature for that

Doh!

The link doesn't work for me though, it just takes me to the mainwebsite, doesn't pull up your system specs v_v

Sounds like you had the heatsink installed wrong, or loose or something. The Zalman should be a superior heatsink. You could try re-installing it with some Arctic Silver and see if it works better.
