co-cheese Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Built by my own hands, my computer is consistently cutting out and rebooting itself. At first i thought overheating maybe, but i checked my bios computer health and my CPU is at 38 degrees C last time it cut outNow im thinking perhaps its my PSU being too crap, but its been working for almost a year with no problems. Any help greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Make sure there isn't any dust build up inside, check all connections of cables, memory and cards by pulling and reseating them. If it still acts the same then it is time to check the PSU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Rebooting sounds like a blue screen. You can verify this by disabling automatic restart at system faliure. 1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.2. Click the Advanced tab.3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.4. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.5. Restart your computer for the settings to take effect. AFter doing this, instead of rebooting, your system will display a blue screen. Copy this information and leave it in a post Quote Link to post Share on other sites
