I recently built a PC for my girlfriend, when I initially installed and configured everything I didn't have any problems. Since she took it home and installed a few applications (AOL) she has been having constant problems with the PC resetting itself. Here are the PC specs as best I can remember.
CPU - 3.0 GHz P4
1 GB Ram
Newer GeForce Video Card
Sony DVD burner
52x CD Burner
Floppy
7 in 1 card Reader
Turtle Beach soundcard
350 watt Power Supply that came with the Case (Aspire I believe)
3 cooling fans
XP Professional
From what I can tell the PC seems the restart whenever AOL is running or there is something processor intensive going on like burning a DVD. The temperature gauge on the Case reads in the 70's so I don't think there is a heat issue, I tend to think that the generic power supply is probably to blame but I wanted to see if you all had any other ideas what the problem could be.
