SMPS problem...Help me plz much worried!!!!!?
My sys config :: Quad core processor , Intel Classic series DG33FB mother board , 2 GB RAM , 160 GB SATA HD , XFX Geforce 9800GTX Graphics card....500VA APC UPS , 600 Watts CIRCLE Smps..

I face random restart problems.Sometimes the computer restrts in an hour, sometimes in a day , sometimes within few seconds..But once it restrts , the frequency of further restrts are more...Some SPARK sound(little not much sound) is coming out from my PSU and it is restarting....Actually everythin was fine for 2 months aftr I purchased Graphics card and PSU...But then I faced these problems....I replaced my PSU and my new PSU worked well for 1 month and now again it is giving the same problem..If I goto the vendor he tells tat the problem is with ur computer.....I checked my RAM , Processor .....no problems at all......

My SMPS gives sound(spark sound) even if I dont connect it with my computer ie (just connectin it to the mains alone...the fan won't run I know)Still it produces the spark sound....
and one more observation is tat if I tilt my PSU or shake it produces the sound nd it restrts,,....

PLZ PLZ PLZ temme wats the real problem....I'm very much worried...Actually I myself assembled the system....So I've to find out the bugs!!!!!

where the problem is actually??? with the smps or smethin else????
One more thing I can say is tat if I keep my system turned off for a day it works well for some days :(

By sparkling sound I mean just a very very little sound...not actual spark....

I faced same issue with my older system. It was my SMPS which was faulty, i replaced it and the problem was gone. Also, in ur case, RAM may be the problem too.
