I have a Dell Dimension 9200 running vista.
I am having a problem with random reboots. No blue screens, the system properties are set not to reboot and display the error when there is a problem. But it still restarts sometimes after a few mins of use other times will last upto a few hours and I have no error logs for this issue.
Once its rebooted it seems to fail to even reboot correctly…starts as if it's going to power on then shuts down as if there isn't enough power to get it going. Then cycles round like this…PC will eventually boot after a number of attempts but is then problematic until I switch off for a while.
I have tested running 512mb … 1gig, 2 gig and 3 gig memory….The only other things I can think of is a graphics card issue or over heating?
I am thinking a power supply issue here but don't have any spares to test this…before I buy a new one can anyone suggest anything I can try to diagnose this a little better?
