Xp Ubcd
Computer randomly restarting?
Ok. I have an older computer. Cannot give you the specs right now. I know it has an AMD Athlon XP with 1 GB of RAM and 2 100 GB hard drives. It has been randomly restarting for quite a while. I have tried everything that I can think of. Replaced the graphics card. Replaced the PSU. Tried switching out RAM. I know for a fact that it is not the CPU overheating because it would do it at any time, no matter what. I checked the CPU temperature through Speedfan and it was completely within safe operating temperatures. I checked the hard drives as well (ran tests on UBCD [to actually test the drives] and reinstalled windows [to make sure it wasn't a problem with the OS]). I am leaning more and more towards the mobo, but I would like a second opinion before doing anything else. It is not throwing up any BSOD or anything like that before it restarts. It just restarts. Does anyone know what could cause this?
Restarting without BSOD is definitely a hardware issue.Since you have checked by replacing every thing except your motherboard, I would like to request you to check the motherboard .
Take it out of the cabinet,keep the mother board on a wooden surface,connect only cpu with fan/heatsink,ram (1 module at a time) ,keyboard ,monitor and psu.Switch it on by sorting two pins(power on).
Also check for any hot IC on your motherboard.
