Re: [H] Reboot Problem
Just because it was easier, I pulled the HD (btw everything was brand new) and replaced it with one from one of my other computers that just had storage files on it and installed XP and booted it up and it has not BSOD for 17 hours. The only upgrade I did on it was the video drivers and the motherboard drivers. While I'm happy that I may have found the problem. I'm not yet convinced. Has anyone had a HD that gave no problem installing not only XP but dozens of programs (after two formats) then causing a intermit problem?? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 2:23 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Reboot Problem At 11:50 AM 4/30/2008, you wrote: OK Guru's.here is the problem Got box running XP Pro; and it reboots several times a day on its own (just sitting there or not).

It is not if they will fail, but WHEN... Did you run any non-distructive diagnostics? Rick Glazier From: Gary clipped Has anyone had a HD that gave no problem installing not only XP but dozens of programs (after two formats) then causing a intermit problem??
Re: [H] Reboot Problem
When my PSU was failing I had no end of trouble with 4 HDD's throwing unrecoverable sector errors. Run Seatools, flag 'em, reboot and hours/days later i'd get hangs/stutters, repeat. Then the BSOD's started and in the end it was the PSU because system was trouble free for the month before I switched to new PC.

Re: [H] Reboot Problem
sounds like heat, make sure cpu heat sink is making good contact. sounds like you changed everything but the power supply, could be that also. fp At 11:50 AM 4/30/2008, Gary Poked the stick with: OK Guru's.here is the problem Got box running XP Pro; and it reboots several times a day on its own (just sitting there or not). I've replaced the motherboard; memory; sata cables; cpu fan. Formatted the drive and did clean install. What's my problem?? Could the CPU be bad??? Hard Drive? Power supply???

Re: [H] Reboot Problem
Disable the auto reboot on BSOD thing and while your at it I'd check your PSU for bad caps. This is the kind of trouble I had when that Antec PSU failed.
