Hey guys...I need help with my computer really bad.

The problem that I am having is that my computer automatically restarts it self. When my computer loads up to the main menu for xp...it just restarts its self and i do not even have an opportunity to click on any folder or icon. I have performed the memroy test and it passed twice. I have a new powersupply. Could it be my hard drive?? I even tried running my computer with the case open and still the computer restarts automatically. I have also tried removing the memory, blowing on it and putting it back into the mobo....still restarts. I have reinstalled xp again......still same problem.

My computer is self made. It has a mother board which is a asus a8n32 sli deluxe, windows xp. Its a athlon 64 with ocz 1 gb memory.

Thanks for the help.
 
Before windows boots, hold the F8 key so you can boot into safemode. Once in safemode, turn off Automatic Restart under Advanced Startup and Recovery in your System Properties. Then, post your BSOD error code.
 
well i reinstalled xp again and now computer seems to work a little. Now it does not restart as quick as before. I do get a windows error. IT says that its a hardware failure.

IT says it may have to do with either ram, powersupply, cpu or the mainboard.


I have ran the ram test and i get no errors. I have a new hiper powersupply because the old one died.

I do not get a bsod error message thing. I turned automatic restart off and still do not get an error. Computer still restarts automatically.
 
might want to crank the vdimm up a little and loosen the timings just to be sure (or set 'failsafe' defaults on the memory page). how are your voltage rails?

is this something that has just started happening, or did you just build this pc?
 
Wait what memory test did you run?

Just in case and to save us both time, google, download, burn and run Memtest+ for at least 3 hours or 24 hours max if you want to completely rule out the RAM.
