Its been rebooting ever since i got it built i even tried getting technician to fix it but he didnt bother coming :/. I know how to build computers and fix them but im not so good with faulty material.
I have random reboots and they can vary sometimes not happen at all for a day and sometimes a few times a day it usually happens when i have a game running or a heavy cpu usage im kinda use to it but sometimes can be very annoying. i always use my computer all day so its on always half a day.I think its my power supply cause its only 430W+ but my graphics card says it needs 450W+
Specifications:
CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+ PCI-E 2.21ghz
RAM: 1gb DDR4
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon X1900XT 512mb PCI-E
PSU:Thermatake 430W 12V
Motherboard: Asrock 939NF4G-SATA2
I think its my power supply should i change it? is it something else causing the problem?My PC been like this for nearly 2 years, it reboots sometimes on me.?

Sounds like it's overheating. Also when is the last time you cleaned inside it? it can become cooler after you remove all the dust.My PC been like this for nearly 2 years, it reboots sometimes on me.?
It can either be the power supply or the CPU overheating. but this sounds more like the CPU overheating in my opinion ...My PC been like this for nearly 2 years, it reboots sometimes on me.?
YAH MAN ID AGREE, could be a few things ,but id say power supply,i had the same thing happen in SLI with gts 8800, only would shut down and restart when playing crysis with everything maxed, check your power usage, download PC WIZARD 2008 just google it,its free and has just about every option you can think of, for checking out you computer,,hope this helps yah out.My PC been like this for nearly 2 years, it reboots sometimes on me.?
hey man ... i think its ur processor
what i mean is ur mb supports fsb 1000 only
and from what i found out ur processor is
fsb 2000 ...
this is the problem ...My PC been like this for nearly 2 years, it reboots sometimes on me.?
this happened to me, it is the power supply.
you can change the power supply or disconnected the hardwares you're not using such as extra dvd-rom, hard disk.
in my case it was the agp graphic card consuming the power. around 2 min into playing warcraft III the computer restarts. it also happens when i use itunes, about 30% of the time when i play a song or change a song the computer crashes.
i was using geforce 4 Ti4200 on amd athlon xp 2000+My PC been like this for nearly 2 years, it reboots sometimes on me.?
Btw...there's no way u have DDR4 RAM, especially if its 2 yrs old. People r just starting to turn to DDR3 now. DDR2 is still more common. Just thought i'd say tht...
