My PC is having random restarts of late,(With BSOD) and when going through the boot up sequence ask me to boot up from selected media.
Could this be a hardrive problem,the whole thing has been transported lately from one side of the room to the other,So maybe something has become loose.

Could this problem be solely related to my hardrive or maybe another issue.

I am posting this on said PC before it restarts again which could be any time.

Anyone got any solutons help much appreciated.

AMD 4200x2
2gb ram
Maxtor 320gb
ATI 2900 Pro
Windows XP
 
Turn the power off - unplug the PC

Open it up and check for loose connections, check for build ups of dust on the heatsinks.

Put everything back together - do a surface scan of the harddisk (checkdsk). If everything else is fine save your data and try re-installing the OS.

If it still occures you probably have a hardware problem.
