Recently rebooting abit av8

[djdube]

Had been overclocking my A64 3000+ a bit... everything was fine and dandy for about a month, and then all of a sudden... my computer started rebooting about every 15-20 seconds after windows gets loaded.

I ended up putting everything back to stock speeds...

Was able to boot iin safe mode and do the various virus and spyware scans with nothing to show out of the ordinary.

I do have it set up to automatically receive updates from MS... maybe something got pushed down recently? Anyone else esperience similar issues? Trying to get a handle on what to tackle first.

What kind of PSU do you have...??? did you uncheck everything in Msconfig..??

I didn't try clearing the cmos... can do that... I have a antec sonata with their true power 380 PSU. I had been running at 280MHz FSB with no issues. Don't have many power hungery peripherals (9600 based Video Card, 120GB Segate, 1Gig Corsair PC3200 (2x512), NEC 3500 DVD drive)...

I'll try resetting the cmos sometime tonight...

Yeah PSU is way more than enough...if the Cmos thing doesn't work ...try loading in safemode and going from there ..you OS may have been corrupted somehow .(via update) try unchecking everything in Msconfig ...seems more software than hardware related..
