There seems to be another component in your system that is causing the instability. Starting with your RAM swap out things one by one until you find the culprit. My guess is either your vid card (or its drivers) or your RAM.
Your system event log files will give most of the clues as to your problem. A mini dump and general error description is given to aid in system errors. If your running Win XP the system will re-boot if a system log error is written to the "Application or System log file" that meets certain catastrophic conditions in the operating system code. Unchecking the "reboot box" under the "system icon" under control panel. Open up the "Advanced", "Startup and Recovery" tabs and uncheck the "Automaticaly Restart" check box. This will force the system to notify the user of a pending problem which can be checked out in the logs before the system reboots by itself.
i built the same pc with an asus A7N266-VM motherboard and having the same rebooting problem,ive put in new memory and 64 meg video card,i have a 300W power supply could that be the problem? also have the lasest vid card drivers and direct x 9 , plz if anyone knows how i can fix this plz post. Thanks.
I had a generic model (aka Aopen unbranded) which caused all sorts of strange system behavior.
Many times when the system would re-boot a message would be displayed on the desktop stating that an unstable video driver could have caused the problem....
