| 407643 | 2005-11-25 22:23:00 | Hi, I got given a computer last night that reboots after a few minutes off running. At first i thought i was the memory, but have put that into my machine im using now with no problems at all. Then i thought it was the DVD/CD Writer, because when i put it in my machine, it would boot, but it still did the same with my DVD rom, so i am stuck. Computer Info: Socket 370 Pentium 733mhz Asus Cusl2-m (thats the only no i could find) mobo 3 x 128mb PC133 memory stick 30gb IBM Disk drive Adcance 300w PSU Thanks Daniel |

| 407646 | 2005-11-25 22:50:00 | Does the case have a reset button? I've frequently heard of reset switches making intermittent contact. What happens immediately before the unwanted re-boot? |

| 407647 | 2005-11-25 22:59:00 | It has a reset button. Nothing happens before it restarts, it just does...no warning at all. Do you think i should try unpluggin the reboot button? I have also upgraded the BIOS to the latest (Luckily it didnt restart while i did this) Daniel |
