Hi, Ive got a problem with my friends mobo. He requested me check it because the technician keeps on telling him to buy this things yet his pc still restarts once he returns the unit back home. By the way the mobo is Gigabyte GA-8I865GME-775 (http://www.gigabyte.ph/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2223). Also, the technician suggested that he should change his PSU to 500W... and so he did.

Last night I brought my Unit with thw Socket 775 then tested it there. I've already place his processor, Memory and HDD into my unit. So I can Format his HDD. After formatting his HDD already work. But after testing my HDD into his mobo and power supply it restarted. Also, after testing his processor, mem & HDD into my unit I've returned his parts into his unit. Still, his unit keeps on restarting.
