Welp my computer restarted twice within 5 mins. I downloaded Motherboard Monitor 5 and the temperature is showing 44 Cels for case and 40 Celsius for cpu. Hmm weird shouldn't cpu be higher than case temp? How do I check videocard temperature?

i got three other computers in different rooms which doesn't random restart. I'm currently running the problem pc in another room. Worked for 25 mins then spoof restarted! This narrowed it down to a hardware problem in my computer. I will exchange my power supply now.. if this doesn't solve the problem I have no choice but to put it up on ebay =( which i really don't want to do. Any other suggestions???

Your video card temp should be displayed in Control Pannel -> Display -> Settings -> Advanced -> [Your Video Card] Tab. Then in there, there should be a place that displays your gpu temp. I have a nvidia gforce 5900 ultra and its under temperature settings.

I think i found the problem. Like kangaroo suggested I think theres an error on my motherboard. I tried to test the ram again with memtest86 and the darn thing keeps restarting. It never completes the test. But Kangaroo how do I reduce my bus size? Thanks everyone for your help.

u know what this prob isnt it but check ur power switch but it shouldnt be waiting 5 mins or so but i would still check to make sure

What do you mean by power switch? You mean in the back or on the motherboard?

I found the answer to random restart. Since its summer time a lot of people use electricity. Therefore I was getting dirty voltage. I've solved this problem by getting a power surge with a battery such as the Apc - 500. Thanks all who have replied.
