Here is a problem. My computer gets restart suddenly. I had changed my power supply (400 watt and 24 pins).

Configuration: P4 2.66, 915GLVG, 512MB DDR, 80GB SATA ...

Please solve this problem.

umm...restarted suddenly, as in just like that? no other symptoms? cld we hv some more symptoms plzz? like is this happening only after u changed the SMPS?

reminds me of a friend whose computer wld restart everytime he flushed the toilet....turns out when he flushes the toilet, a pump wld start, causing a dip in the power supply n restarting the comp :lol:

Hi friend
is there any particular duration when the problem occurs...i mean does it happen when you are playing games....if thats the case then this could be due to heating problem of your mobo...in such a case you might consider adding an additional fan..or going for a bigger CPU case..

do write back...

Hi Friends

There are no other symptom. Machine does not restarts in regular interval.

My DirectX version is 9.0c

I have an extra cooling fan in the cabinet.
