My computer has worked fine for the past few months, but all of a sudden it has started restarting randomly. Sometimes it will boot into Windows and run for up to a few hours, other times it will restart during the Windows loading and sometimes it won't even POST.
The most recent change I made was a new graphics card, which I added around Christmas. The motherboard is almost a year old, I upgraded to it in April of last year. As I said, it's worked fine up to a month or so ago.
I've checked the PSU, the RAM, the graphics card, and probably everything else I could think of. I thought it was a software problem at first, but since it won't boot into Windows, it's probably not.
My specs:
- MSI K8T Neo2 Motherboard (with VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset)
- 512 MB DDR RAM (1 stick) (not sure of the speed on that)
- ATI Radeon 9800 XT based Graphics
- WD 250 GB HDD
- AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (clocked @ 2.0 Ghz)
- Generic 420 Watt PSU
