I got this IBM Netvista motherboard and 800MHz P3 processor from the old case it was in from work. Now when I loaded windows or even Linux it would always just reboot as it loaded somethign. It would stay on at bios like normal but once it hits a certin point in loading some software it just reboots. It has to be the motherboard? Does anyone know why I might reboot? Its got IBM ram from the factory even with other ram it would do the same time. Its got the same powersupply as stock but I cant figure it out. I have tried Windows XP 2000 and Linux. Same time anyone have any ideas? Thanks! :confused:
 
Try disabling the cache for the CPU in the BIOS. If it doesn't crash that could be it. Also, a faulty video card (or embedded card) can do the same thing. Heat is the number one thing to cause a reboot, but due to the age of the system, I'd say that isn't too likely. Check with another PSU if you can. bad/old PSU not supplying enough current is a possibility.
