Hi,
I've had those reboots for months now, completely erratically. Doesn't matter if I surf, game, watch a video. Screen goes black, I hear the relais of the power supply and the system reboots. Sometimes I won't get a video signal on the first (or second, or third...) try.
My rig:
i7-2600K
4x4GB DDR3 GSkill (alternatively 1x4GB A-Data)
GTX580 SLI (alternatively Geforce 520GT)
Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3
Watercooling
Corsair AX850/Enermax Platimax 1200W
I've changed GPU, RAM, power supply - to no avail. Now I found out that:
1. I can reproduce these reboots by lightly moving the 24pin ATX cable
2. When I don't get a video signal right away and the startup process is "stuck", it helps to again lightly move the ATX cable -> system starts, I get an image
So is the ATX connector on the board loose? Or is there a cold soldering connection? Hair-line crack? Anything that responds to mechanical influence. I cannot think of anything else at this point.
