    Can anyone help me here? My first problem with my pc. It is hanging up with then rebooting itself (sometimes succesfully, mostly not) Not running games, just general use. Sometimes when rebooting the system does not see hdd. Has a lex bn790t mainboard with 1.2 athlon (ancient I know) a 40Gb fujitsu hdd with 256Mb of pc133 sdram. I`ve been pointed towards the memory as likely candidate.

    u could check the memory is seated correctly by removing it and putting it back in again. to me it seems like a temperature problem try and find out what temperature your system is running at idealy 36 degrees it and ample temperature for the system. the reson its not findin your hardrive coul simply be a connection fault. i ould check theese thing and post back m8! Hope this helps Dave :good:

    I have reseated the memory and checked cables, the unit has 3 fans in total.
    One for the case, one under the hdd and the cpu fan. All seem to be working ok. How do you check the temperature? Is it monitored by the software?
    I am using the pc now and its ok (for now) but it wnet into its reboot habit last night when my son was playing a game.

    sounds like its overheating, You can touch the CPU heatsink and if it is too hot to keep your fingers on, it's overheating. Same goes with pretty much everything else. Just touch the heatsinks
