Hello,
I'm sure we've all heard this before but I'm having an issue whereby my machine is rebooting randomly during use.
By reboot, I mean "starts over", windows does not shut down, ie. All of a sudden I see the BIOS running basic checks, then booting OS.
System spec at bottom of page. I had originally a Corsair HX540w which completely failed after about 3 weeks use, having RMAed it, the issue persisted. I have just upgraded to Corsair HX850w, which carries much superior ampage to the 12v rail... same problem.
I have run Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows 7 Ultimate to the same Effect.
Wondering if anyone else has come accross an actual solution? I seem to have exhausted Google. Alot of people pointing to the ATI HD4870, alas, could really be anything; MB, RAM, CPU.
