17715 2001-08-27 13:19:00 Have recently put together a DFI M/B AM75-TC VIA 266FSB ATX & 1Gg AMD Thunderbird with 20G HDD, Floppy, CD-Writer, Int Modem & network card in std ATX case. Win 98SE O/S. Installed sundry software. Day 1 A-OK. Day 2 Moved to another bldng. Computer keeps starting & restarting. Have I got a power issue in this bldng? Moved back to first bldng & computer behaving itself. Have installed Win 98SE fix just in case it's this. Too scared to move back to 2nd bldng. Where should I be looking? Guest (0)

PS. Sorry, couldn't resist. And sorry again, I'm no help on this one ;-)

Tried new RAM, new power box, rreinstalled Win98SE many times.

The culprit was eventually found. Dud cable from MB to HDD. Once replaced, everything was fine.
