Random reboots, help

[AMiller]

Ok I just put together a new system (see sig) and now im getting a few random reboots where ill be doing some things and then the screen will go black and ill see my video cards bios status in a few seconds.

Now im fairly sure its not temps since according to the to hot thread that anything under 55*C should be fine. Im getting around 42*C at idle and as high as 58*C at load (most of the reboots have been when its not at full load hence me thinking its not the temps).

Any suggestions as to what to look for? :\

I've reset CMOS and loaded the failsafe defaults and its still happening.

I usually get them once or twice a day but im getting more and more of them every day it seems.

Its happened to me a few times before, if you have a friend with some PC-3200 RAM, ask him to borrow it for a bit and slap it in your machine, see if it reboots.

Either that or powersupply, if the RAM doesnt do the trick.

if that doesn't work, you might see if it's the motherboard, i had an MSI motherboard give me reboot problems before,when it started doing it, it wasn't rebooting very often, but after a day or two it was doing it frequently.
