I am having problems with random restarts.  Its just like I reach over and hit reset button.  I am running the latest drivers with all my hardware on XP Pro SP2.  If anyone has any ideas of anything I could be missing let me know.  System is not overheating.  My CPU and GPU are sitting at 26*C and 36*C at idle.  Memtest passed on ram with 0 errors.  System is not overclocked

Could be the psu.
 
Write this on cd/floppy & boot it up. If the pc still restart in dos, something is screwy.

Ram test 100% ok with Memtest 2.0 from above.  I just noticed that I still had Windows set to auto reboot on system fault.  I just disabled that so next time it happens i may just get a BSOD.  If i do I will post a picture of it.
