At some point, my overclocked Opteron 146 system began to experience sporadic loss of power/reboot. At first I didn't care, but the reboots became annoying.
Eventually, this caused me to stop overclocking; then replace the motherboard, memory, CPU, and power supply.
As it turns out, none of this helped. The reboots continue to this day. There never was a blue screen or windows error, so I am assuming software or memory corruption is not likely to be the problem. The reported temperatures are well within norm. The reboots appear quite random and not related to particularly strenuous activity, although they typically only happen when I'm on the computer.
Any guesses?
Opty 146-->144 with huge heatsink+fan
Two different nForce4 mobos
OCZ Gold ES(?) RAM x2 running @2.7V (minimum recommended)
GeForce 7800GT
2 hard disks (ATA + SATA)
DVDRW
One of two 400W PSUs
Old UPS
