That can mean a couple of things. Typically, it means the motherboard has lost its bios settings (date & time, etc.) and it needs a new cmos battery. (the small silver coin battery thats on the motherboard) Not as common, but it happens to me: it can also mean a setting in the bios that youre using causes the motherboard to reset itself. And I suppose, it can mean the motherboard needs replacing.
On the motherboard and also inside the power supply, look for bad capacitors as shown here: (click on pics to see closer) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague A $100 investment in a UPS battery backup unit can save your equipment. In any case, thats not a problem caused by EWF.
