Hey guys

My pc today has just been randomly restarting.

Today it started with me trying to boot into windows when i got home from school it got the desktop then just restarted. However after this the pc was in a constant reboot loop unit i turned it off and removed the power plug and put it back in again, which made it boot again. Since then it has randomly restarted a couple of times no certain period of time.

Ive checked temps Cpu doesnt go above 40 degress.
Video card is fine 48 Idle (G80 core)

My specs are:
Amd Phenom II 965 C3 @ 3.4 Ghz
Asus M3n-HD/Hdmi Motherboard
Kingston Value 4GB DDR2 800
XFX Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 320MB
Crucial C300 SSD and Maxtor Diamond max 21 250GB HDD
Psu: Corsair VX550 Watt.

What do you guys think?

Cheers Regards Ryan

PS: just about to run memtest.

Hey

The rebooting is a bit sporadic so cant tell if it has stopped or not.

Doesnt say anything in event viewer.

Also i have Microsoft security essentials.

I thought it could be a hardware error because of the boot cycling after shutdown.

Cheers for your help

regards Ryan

Hey

They haven't had one for about an hour. So may be ok

I doesn't give me a BSOD it just freezes and the monitor goes off and i know its frozen because num lock doesn't change when i press it.

Cheers Guys my fault should have said more clearly.

Ps: i seem to run out Cd's to run Memtest.

Hey

Just to let you know I have now done a couple of runs of memtest and it seems clear.

I have had a couple of video hardware errors lately might be that but it's running ok at the moment.

Cheers Guys
