hi all, ive been having a ton of reboot issues for the past few weeks. have not installed any new hardware and have been running an Abit IC7, 2 512 sticks of corsair ram, radeon 9700 with an antec true PS (forgot total W but it was around 480 i think, i knew i need the power for the 9700). i built this system myself.
i am rebooting several times per day. i do not get the BSOD ever, the comp simply restarts. im running win xp. i checked off write event to sysyem log but im not surehow to check the log? /shrug no mesages before or after reboots.
for the past few days the comp ALWAYS seems to reboot in the morning when i first use it. generally, it will reboot 2x when i first go online when i am checking my emails, scores... it also seems to reboot more often when the monitor goes into sleep mode from sitting idle. it will reboot even when it "warms off" although it doesnt seem to be as much as these other occassions. there's no true rhyme or reason that i can tell, just times it occurs more often.
i have not installed anything new lately. been playing lineage 2 for a bit, a few lockups while playing. no new hardware or software. tonight i tried unplugging everything from the outlet and surge protector figuring maybe something funky in the electric. it didnt help. im at a loss and dont know where to start. obvious choice is PS but its a top of the line antec and only a year-year and a half old.
any help would be appreciated, the forums have always been a huge help. thanks in advance.
