What's wrong with my PC?

[boxed]

Lately, it's been rebooting by it self. I've had this problem before but it stopped. Now it's back. Before it rebooted cause the power cord wasn't plugged all the way in. Now i've checked and everything is running normal. But my PC reboot's by it self just before i posted this topic. It reboots during the middle of the night...*looks around*... I was dl'ing stuff off bittorrent while it rebooted...and never got done with it...

Maybe my power supply is going? Or my pc is running too hot ( cant be never!!!) ?...

Could be a couple of things. Check the memory to make sure thats working correctly. Memtest86 is the best for testing memory. Also I may be a power issue. Either your power supply or your power outlet might be cutting out or losing voltage. A long shot is it could be a virus. Anything is possible in the computer world. I had a computer the other day that if the USB header were not plugged in correctly, it would turn off the secondary IDE channel. Here are the possibilities listed in most probable on top.
1) Memory
2) Motherboard
3) Power Supply/Source
4) Virus

Also if your pc was running too hot usually it just turns off. Keep me updated.

from the looks of it...its my power supply..and im wondering....where can i get a good deal?

 

[montag451]

get a quality brand - not a higher wattage.
a 350w enermax would be better than a 600w psu made by someone in a shed in taiwan

350watts would be enough for my pc?...i'm running about 5 fans...enough u think?

 

[mechBgon]

Quality first Also, I know this may seem way too obvious, but it could be your CPU's not stable anymore at 3200+ OC, too.
