A few days ago, my PC started randomly rebooting. I looked all over and asked friends what they thought the problem was and the overwhelming response was "hard drive failure." I first did some virus scans to make sure I hadn't picked anything up recently and I couldn't find anything.
So, I went over to a friend's house whose dad has tons of spare hardware, and decided to format and install windows 7 on a spare hard drive he had. As soon as I got everything set back up with the new OS and newish hard drive, I started working on setting up drivers. Very shortly after I began, it rebooted again. It did the same a, again, a few minutes ago.
I did a memtest and it's saying that my RAM is fine. I just recently replaced my PSU, so I don't think it's that. Not to mention, problems with those usually cause power offs, rather than reboots, so far as I've heard/experienced. So, I'm not sure what to do at this point. I guess it could be a faulty motherboard or wire, I just don't know what to check for at anymore; I'm kind of overwhelmed. Any suggestions people could offer would be really appreciated, as I'd like to get this fixed without having to spend a lot of money on new hardware if I can help it. Thanks in advance.
