Not sure how to really describe this so here I go.
Computer randomly restarts now and then, I've tried replacing the hard drive but eventually it starts doing it again on a new hard drive. With my luck though, it could be two bad hard drives but im not counting on that. Thankfully I have a few computers I can use.
My 2nd thought would be the PSU. I tested the voltage lines
The 5v lines ranges from 4.88 to 5.10V on different lines. The 12V ranges from 12.29 to 12.39V on different lines. Is this a problem? I'm not sure how to really test a PSU to see if its the source of the problem or not. I have an Enermax 431W PSU (EG465P-VE).
I believe 431W to be enough to control the hardware that I have. I used to run it on a 300W Antec PSU which was pushing it but it still worked. Any ideas?
