So after installing new MOBO and ssd,reinstalling win7,
I do experience random resets...have no idea what can cause it...
I need to install antyvir software...but don't think its virus....

there is barely any software installed...

where I should look for any clues what can be wrong ?

Done a memory test?

Restart windows > f8 > repair computer > run mem test

Only other thing you can do is run the pc in safe mode.

1. Restart
2. Hit F8
3. Run Safe Mode

If it restarts then it will seem to be a hardware problem, if it does not restart then it could be a software compatibility problem or conflicting software. Also download MalWare Bytes and run the scan. Could be spyware or a virus of some sort.

Only things I can think of!

UPDATE:
finally a BSOD!!!!with error 24, something to do with file system...
have done chkdsk /r it found some errors and have fixed it.
have tried sfc as well...it founded some errors fixed some but not all. one not fixed was sfc.exe itself...now have to wait and see if it helped.

Ah, chkdsk... yea thats fine... run a chkdsk /f also. Just to be on the safe side.

Hard drives are little boggers aint they

Reason I do not have an SSD... bad firmware... constant updating of them... few of them dying for no apparent reason... people loosing data for no reason...

Ill stick with my SATA 2 hdd's for now...

try a firmware update if possible, but chkdsk aint great at fixing SSD's
