Check the power supply connections too. In particular the 4pin square plug that goes somewhere in the middle of the motherboard... (wow, I'm like, so technical!!)

I've had quite a few problems with my aforementioned "Friend's Computer". One of these was the case, constantly freezing or rebooting. Turned out the 4pin plug has burned out somehow. Replaced with a spare PSU and everything was fine... Until the hard drive played up. But that's a different topic.
