Good Evening -
I posted this in the home build section of the forums a while back but i am still having some issues. Perhaps this is a more appropriate area as i had only one (although helpful) reply. Please let me know your thought. Thanks in advance
"I built my first pc about a year and a half ago with no issues whatsoever. Now all of the sudden my computer keeps randomly rebooting. Sometimes I'll be using windows for a half hour or so with no issues until a reboot, and other times it will get itself into a cycle where it will reboot, not even finish loading the bios, and then reboot again.
I took the computer to a PC place where they did a diagnostic. They "claimed" they swapped the parts and it was either the MOBO or the CPU. Figuring the failure rate on the MOBO was much higher than the CPU I RMA'd the MOBO. After weeks of waiting and finally slapping it all back together I am seeing the same issue.
I dont think its a heat issue as I installed speedfan and temps seem to be very stable and operated usually between 50-60c when under load for all areas. I am obviously sick of the problem and dont know what to do. I could RMA the CPU but if thats not the issue its another 2 weeks and no progress. Could it be a bad power supply? I wonder if the PC place (pretty reputable within the milwaukee area) did a lazy job of actually trying to solve the problem. I dont think its a windows issue as it will sometimes reboot before even loading vista. I will see the MOBO screen and sometimes it restarts right at that.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all replies
