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.
