Sounds to me, like qdos said, your power supply is either under powered or failing. Is there anything of interest in event viewer? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number tw33k

Everything suggests PSU failure to my ears... you can get it tested at any PC repair shack, and even if it tests OK examine the power requirements of all the onboard components to see whether you might actually need a PSU with more juice than the one you're currently running... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine
