Dell Dimension 3000 Does anyone know much about the Dell Dimension 3000? I have run into a problem for about a month now of it restarting itself no matter what OS it is running. It is obviously a hardware problem and not a Windows problem so please don't try to troubleshoot it.
Any help will be appreciated.

You are 1GB short of the minimum RAM to run Win 7 X64. that may be the cause. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Brittechnologies II OS Windows 7 Ultimate X86 SP1 CPU i5-2550K differing speeds depending on the day Motherboard ASUS P8X68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz, 4X4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans @1300 RPM Hard Drives TBA Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Other Info 5 fans, LG Bluray/R/RE, ASUS DVD/R/RW |

Actually this computer is running Windows XP Pro. On the profile, Win 7 is referring to my laptop. Like I said, it restarts no-matter what OS it is running. For example, I was trying to backup my computer over night using Acronis Image off disc and it restarted in the middle of the backup. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom, HP Pavilion g6 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Windows 7 Pro x64 CPU Intel® Core™ i7-2600K, Intel® Core™ i3-380M Motherboard Asus P8P67 (REV 3.1) Memory 2 X 4GB Corsair Vengeance, 2 X 2GB Hyundai Electronics Graphics Card MSI AMD Radeon 6850, Intel HD Graphics Sound Card Integrated Screen Resolution 1366x768 Keyboard Logitech k360 Mouse Logitech M305 PSU Coolmax 750B Case Thermaltake Element G Cooling Stock Cooler(for now) Hard Drives Crucial 128GB (Main)

Specs here: Documentation
Common causes are: - [Most common]: Power supply (you did that), but unless the replacement was new it could still be the cause.
- Poorly seated components (remove the components - RAM sticks & PCI cards) - and reinstall them making sure they click completely into place.
- Dust: Enough to cause short circuits (shorting) - blow out the case and all components with compressed air.
- Shorting at the motherboard mounts (be sure the mounts are in the correct location and snug-tight.
- Shorting at the motherboard input/output (I/O) shield.
- Shorting on the externally connected devices.

Go to Control Panel|System|Advanced tab. Start up and recovery, UN check Automatically Restart. this won't fix it, but upon powering up may generate an error code. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Brittechnologies II OS Windows 7 Ultimate X86 SP1 CPU i5-2550K differing speeds depending on the day Motherboard ASUS P8X68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz, 4X4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans @1300 RPM Hard Drives TBA Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Other Info 5 fans, LG Bluray/R/RE, ASUS DVD/R/RW |
