The house I live in randomly doesn't have a ground wire going to some plugs in the house. The only plug in my room has no ground.

I have been having issues with random reboots, random shut downs, and then after the shut downs the only way I can get it to start up again is to bump it with my leg. Which said to me at first it was just a short somewhere. I re-did all the wires and checked everything and I can't see a problem there now. The issue is still there.

No overclocking, PSU is a pc power and cooling. am3 phenom 2 x2. I ran the Proc unlocked and at 3.2 ghz for months until I moved. The first time it reboot I set everything to default and never touched the bios again.
 
bad power can cause all sorts of problems.
you say you ran the Proc unlocked and at 3.2 ghz for months until you moved...I assume it worked Ok before....was you old house ungrounded?
 
nah I had to re wire that whole house when I bought it. It was perfect.

the only difference is the non grounded outlet.

But I guess I could have knocked something lose in the move, but it would have to be internal to the power supply at this point.

It's bumping it to get it to turn on that keeps bugging me about a short somewhere I can't find.

I have it plugged into a ups. I thought those cleaned up the power a bit? and no taking the ups out of the power loop didn't solve the problem.
