***Computer reboots without warning?***

[Reticle]

Overheating can be a BIG problem. I got a crappy Gateway slim case, and it didn't have sufficient cooling. Restarted all the time. When I used Motherboard Monitor to check my CPU temp, it was 140 F. Now, it simply wont boot, probably cause something melted on the motherboard.

Yup, could be a power supply problem or your processor is over-heating.
I had this problem on a couple of occasions and each of the above were the main cause.

always go with a powersupply at least 400 watts nowadays....
my new rig has a 650 watt PS

[GHOST Marvin]

Anything above 350Watt should do the trick.
If you go for a 350Watt - go for a reliable approved PSU.

An semi-decent computer will use no more than 220Watts on average.

Guys dont reply to old topics make a new thread saying something simular to the thread title instead of replying to old posts!!!!

[Scott]

Id rather have them reply to an old post..

[GHOST Marvin]

Exactly.

If I was to post my 'reply' on a new thread... then you would have no idea what I was talking about.

Once on our computer, it kept on resetting, but, it was just the reset cable, and it kept
on tripping! If you have any problems with it resetting without any reason, check the reset cable in your computer!
