So for the last 3 weeks I've been having a major problem with my computer and we cant find what the problem is.

1.) I shut down my computer, then in the middle of the night it starts back up but doesnt load windows it just restarts every 3-4seconds nonstop and the only way to shut it down is by pulling the plug.

2.) It does what i said in No.1 above but while im working on it it randomly does that.

3.) It showed some static on the screen and froze a game i was playing.

We changed the power supply and GPU and it still does that.

We also did a stress test on the GPU and Processor and once again nothing.

I also pulled the plug off and let it sit for 5-7 hours but still does that.

Also, no blown capacitors visible at least.

I have Windows 7 64bit, 2GB +4GB Ram(of the same Mhz), 250 Hard drive and 500GB Hard drive, Intel Core i5-2500 CPU @ 3,30Ghz (and its Quadcore).

PLEASE HELP i would truly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction i dont wanna buy a brand new computer if i can just find what the problem is.

In the system setup disable anything that may allow it to wake up automatically. There are a number of things that can wake a PC up aside from the power button.

Keyboard activity, mouse activity, Wakeup on Lan, etc...

If that doesn't help, call an exorcist.

there is a BIOS setting that tells the computer what to do when theres a power outage- it can stay off or boot up. if the computer is plugged into a switched plug, hitting the switch off and on will look like a power outage to the computer and it will turn on.
