Rebooting Issue

[Billybob51106]

I have 2 problems with my new build I want to get cleared up. I have had this build for 3 weeks now.

The first, I turn my machine on, it runs for 1 sec, turns off, then 1 sec later turns back on and runs great, nice and stable.

The second, this just started a couple of days ago, I'll get some fast moving lines, perhaps like interference and the machine with reboot. I can just be cruising the internet or reading email when it happens. I have gone into the BIOS immediately and the temps are norm.

I am at a loss here, here is my setup.

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Motherboard
Intel Q6600
2 Gig Crucial
8800GTS 640
Corsair 550 PSU
WinXP Pro SP2

Any help would be great.

Run memtest yet?

Wait, what kind of lines are these? Can you get a pic of it when it happens?

It could be the video card. Oh and that double booting thing, don't worry about it. It's inherent with the P35 chipset. It's not a problem at all for the system, it's just a really big annoyance.

I agree with crashthenet44. Run Memtest+ on each stick of RAM separately to rule out the RAM as the problem.

That is so dumb about the dual booting, seriously, come on.

I will run memtest tonight when I get home, the lines run horizontally, left to right. I dunno, I thought maybe PSU with dual booting, but now I know that is "normal".I will try to reseat the video card also, thanks guys!
