Asus tech also suggested bad ram.
I'm stumped.

With your video card, CPU overclocked to 4 gig, 4 HD's, 6 fans, SSD, DVD burner, etc, you're only at ~375w of usage.

Doesn't calculate usage, gives a reccomendation based on TDP of components input and some overhead, OP's specs won't come anywhere near 375w

I checked the ram through Windows Mem test, all 4 sticks though and they checked out fine. I forgot to mention I have Windows 7 and Windows ofiice xp. The system was running fine until maybe a month ago. I tend to fully power off the computer, when I'm away for more than 3 days. I noticed the rebooting specially after powering the system back on. This week, it's constantly doing it. I just updated the bios and updated a bunch of drivers.

Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it! I'm going to swap out the psu and restest each stick of ram (as those are the least expensive options right now). Then if the issue persists, then step 2. I'll keep you posted!Claudia
Keep your expenses down and don't buy a 1kw psu that you have no need for

For sure not! I'm going with another ocz 700w, on Amazon for $81- a $30 rebate. I'll sell my current one on Ebay. I'm just hoping that in the end it's not the Mobo or the CPU.Hi
If it IS your PSU (which I doubt) , please drop the faulty one in the bin...don't sell it on Ebay
All the best Brett

FYI OCZ have a shaky track record.OCZ is not my favorite company, not by a long shot, however they do make some quite good power supplies to my surprise. Avoid Epsilon platform models as they are an old design which is questionable. The Impervio and Sirtec models are highly rated. The FSP PSU's for OCZ are average.But my main point is OCZ is iffy at best.
