Hey guys,
A mate recently reported that his trusty amd pc (2400xp) had suddenly, in the last moth or so, decided to restart itself at regular intervals.
I went round, had a quick look and advised him (not wanting to make too much work for myself) to get some new ram and a new psu - the one he had in there was about 8 years old and had come free with his case. I also ran the usual reg utilities and defragged the hd etc.
Unfortunately the problem is still persisting... I said I'd reinstall windows for him next week, but in the mean time, is there anything else I've overlooked? I also considered it being an overheating issue but I've ruled that out now; his chip hardly ever goes over 45 degrees.
Any thoughts?
