| 407663 | 2005-11-26 01:36:00 | My sugesgine is if you get a new CPU replace each part one by one until it works. | homer (363) | ||
| 407664 | 2005-11-26 01:39:00 | Its not the CPU though, i have run it in my current machine with no problems at all (apart from the fact it was slower than my 1ghz cpu). I think its either the PSU or the Mobo. I have also replaced ALL the memory in it without a problem. I have removed everything it doesnt need to boot up. On thing i just noticed though is that it NEEDS a network cable in it to turn on...which is strange.... Daniel |

| 407665 | 2005-11-26 02:23:00 | It could be a PSU problem. Swap it with a known-to-be good PSU and see how it goes. Cheers |

| 407666 | 2005-11-26 02:25:00 | Thats what i think it will be, the only prob is, is that all my machines are compaq, and use a strange connector (Well i think it is), or SFF cases. Im getting a normal ATX PSU on monday from a friend. Daniel |

| 407668 | 2005-11-26 06:41:00 | These random restarts can also be caused by virus/malware.I would go and get it checked out. www.cyberanswers.org |

| 407670 | 2005-11-26 06:50:00 | Well if it is somthing to do with a virus....eg swap for a hard drive you know that works... what i said earlier was swap each part one at a time and then you will find what is wrong with it e.g swap the power supply and if it still doesnt work its not the power supply at foult. | homer (363) | ||
| 407671 | 2005-11-26 06:52:00 | Or try formatting that hdd on a working computer, then chuck it back in. It it crashes while connected as a slave, then the hdd is the prob. |

| 407672 | 2005-11-26 06:56:00 | yea i reckon it would be to do with the hard drive so try that first :badpc: :thumbs: | homer (363) | ||
