Computer keeps restarting

well its really messed up now, i cant even use it. When i turn it on, it ask for my bootdisk. So i put that in but i dont get enough time to use it before it goes black or restarts.
Also im getting blue artifacts across my screen sometimes. It could be a couple blue lines, or lots of blue patterns that get worse the longer i keep my pc on.

What is going on:confused::(

This is getting very odd. As has been said, try booting using seperate sticks on their own. I may sound a bit extreme here but have you any other motherboard you could try the components in?
 
well ive somehow got lucky and managed to get my bootdisk working. Ive formatted both my hard drives and restarting all afresh. Now to see what happens, hopefully itll be alright.
 
Well thought it solved my problem, but it hasnt:(

Its not asking for bootdisk anymore, but its still restarting, and getting random artifacts. All i do is restart my pc and i dont get the artifacts anymore until i restart my pc again or decide to go on it again later, its just so random.
As for the random restarts it could happen anytime, in game or even just on my desktop.

Im tempted to throw money at the problem and replace the following:
PSU
Motherboard
Ram

So what should i do?
 
Have you tried booting and running with only a single stick of the ram at a time?
Is it possible to test the system with a different PSU?

When things like this happen, you need to do it as to elimate each piece of hardware, motherboard being the last and biggest hassle

If you have access to another system it'd be worth checking all parts (psu, cpu, ram, graphics, any additional cards)
 
Well the problem is back again:( What am i to do, this is getting annoying:mad:

It started today with random turning offs so i had to restart the pc. Plus im getting the artifacts still so then i got to restart my pc to get rid of that. Ando now i keep getting a message asking for the boot disk.
 
3 things strike me as possible problems could be failing psu, memory or graphics card (then if they're all ok, motherboard) so try testing with one stick of RAM, as mentioned, if you haven't already, then a spare psu, then a spare gfx card. If it still messes up, then temps sound fine, must be a dodgy motherboard. There's also not a chance your reset button may be stuck is there?
 
Right its back again:mad::(

So ive replaced the following:
motherboard
PSU
Ram
graphics cards

The only thing i can think it has to be is the monitor? what else could it be?
 
If it's your actual computer restarting then I don't see how it can be your monitor tbh.

Only thing missing from the list of things you've replaced is your CPU itself..

well my monitor is getting like a blue stuff across the screen. It starts off with a few lines and then lots of it everywhere. Till eventually ive got to restart it cause the screen flickers black???
 
From the sound of things, most of the parts have been changed, apart from CPU (mentioned already) and I'm guessing the hard drives, hdd cables (SATA or IDE?) and the case (thinking front panel connectors/cabling) are the same too?
For my own curiosity, I would reinstall windows again but leave off apps, drivers and updates for a day or two just to see what happens. You may not get back online while there is no drivers/anti virus. May be a long shot but I would satisfy my own curiosity if the same happened to me.
