| 211080 | 2004-02-01 08:34:00 | Hi I had a very similar problem with locking up rebooting etc. swapped video cards, disconnected everything , swapped psu, turned out the cpu was fritzed. Fitted a new cpu and no more problems. It seemed the heat transfer paste on the heat sink had migrated and was intermittantly shorting out some caps. It may be a long shot but when all the obvious things don't work whats left? Wurzul :D |

| 211082 | 2004-02-01 19:35:00 | Seeing as you unplugged so many devices it's almost certainly not going to be the PSU. Suggest you reformat and do a clean install. You could backup important stuff by putting your hard-drive into someone else's PC and copy to a folder, and copy it back later |

NO. thats one very poor diagnostic. just because you unloaded a bit of load off the psu dosn't mean its not stuffed. i had one the other day doing exactly the same thing. turned out to be blown caps in the psu. test it with a good known psu. |
