hi my friends comp restarts while gaming or whenever there is excessive load (like burning cds,ripping etc.) we think the problem could either be with the RAM or power supply. how right are we? besides we ran memtest and it showed nothing faulty. Wat could be the other possible causes for this to happen?
yeah overheating has to be considered, also how old is the PSU ? & what is the make and model of his PSU ?
the prob still aint solved.. it doesnt seem to be a temperature issue.. i'm kinda check tat anyway.. a couple of days back a frnd realised tat a -5v line is missin from the power supply to the mobo.. could tat be the cause for the problem???
What kind of MB are you using?...If its a P4 then that plug is required. I really don't know the symptoms of forgetting to plug tis additional power signal to the MB, but that may be the cause....or at least could be the cause for any other upcoming major issue.
