Hi
I've had my self built system for about 3 years and never had any problems. My system is now switching itself off at random times. For example today I booted up and managed half an hour before it suddenly rebooted. It then tries to start up again. Sometimes it lasts a second or two before rebooting again, not even getting past the boot prompts. Other times it gets into windows for a minute or so then reboots.
I've reseated all ram,processor, power leads and so there's nothing obviously wrong so I'm now thinking my power supply might be a bit iffy? There's also no overheating as far as I can see.
The fact that some of the reboots happen about 1 second after the previous one suggests to me it's not video/software related it I'm happy to be told otherwise. I also have standard components (gigabyte/xilence) - happy to post details if required.
Thanks for any advice.
