I just finished building a new rig, but I'm having some interesting issues; occasionally, almost randomly, the computer will simply reboot instantly, sometimes requiring multiple attempts to get back into windows (which I just installed, have basic apps installed).
Occasionally it will even do it when I enter the bios. Also, sometimes, it wont fully reboot, just go to a black screen with no video output, but the power remains on.
Memtest run in XP got no errors checking the RAM, and Catalyst Control center doesnt mark anything wrong with the videocard. Heres the system, maybe you can think of something I havent:
Gigabyte GA-P45-DQ6 mobo
4 GB Mushkin 1066 ram (2x 2GB), changed to stock settings in bios (5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ stock
Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 @ stock
ASUS Xonar DX2
WD 6400AAKS
Mushkin 800w modular PSU
any ideas? I think I've narrowed it down to either the RAM or HD, but can't be sure yet.
