Hi, my pc reboots about 3/4 times everyday after my first failed boot in the day, then sometimes it manages to work after the 4th boot. WHen i say failed i mean the pc randomly restarts when it gets to the vista loading bar screen.
IT SEEMS like this is cause the computer is cold and is needed to warm up? i heard some people say power draw is highest in boot but im not sure. I can play bioshock 2 fine with high settings and im sure that uses a lot of power? i have no problems once ive booted, can even restart like 8 times once ive gotten past the 1st good boot. i Can even shut down pc, wait 2 minutes and press the button again and it boots fine.
Before i had a nvidia 7950gx2 and this died ( i think) so i got a new card but same problem now. the 7950gx2 was busted i guess cause the drivers don't work and when i put it in another pc straight away blue screen.
I have some windows updates installed, avast, ati drivers.
