Auto-restart computer issue....

[gHeTTo.AzN.PrEp]

My computer would rendomly restart whenever it feels like it. Look at my sig to see system specs. Antec True430 voltages are +3.3 = 3.34 V, +5 = 5.03 V, and +12 = 12.16 V. Also, my Case temp is 30 degrees celcius while my CPU temp is 24 degrees celcius. Usually my CPU temp is higher than my case temp but after I went from Soyo to Asus. This is what MBM 5 is reading to me.

Turn off automatic restarts in XP, it's in system properties under the advanced tab, startup & recovery settings. Either that or your power's screwed at some point along the line.

I've done that and I still get a restart. Do my voltages look correct to any of you guys? Just want to cancel out my PSU as the problem.

No viruses or worms?

Make sure you're not overusing a particular line. I had a friend who's computer would restart everytime he opened his CD-Rom. Balanced out the lines=problem gone.

If automatic restarts are off and you're not getting a BSOD, then it's probably a hardware issue. Most likely either it's a power issue, or something is overheating and causing it that way.

By power issue, it doesn't mean "replace the PSU" although that may turn out to be the culprit. You may have a loose cord, or are getting brownouts (is it behind a UPS?). Something is interrupting the computer's supply of electricity at some point.
