Hi
I have just built a new PC from scratch, and have had endless problems. I have had some heat issues, but a new case has solved that one. Now I am getting random restarts for no apparent reason. It happens whilst playing games and whilst sitting idle.
Here are my specs
Asus Rampage Formula motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale Processor
Nvidia 8800Ultra graphics card
2GB Corsair DDR2 800 RAM
550 watt psu
onboard sound card
1TB Seagate Barracuda harddrive
250 GB Hitachi harddrive
I haven't overclocked any of the components and have done countless formats and windows installations. The heat is no longer an issue, MB running at under 40 degrees. Performance wise it runs great. Using 3D Mark 2006, I got a score of 13181 marks. It just restarts pretty often for nothing. Some of the things I have been doing when it restarts include downloading games to steam and file transfers over the lan. Pretty standard non intensive things really.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Any help is greatly appreciated
