Do I need a new Motherboard?
Hey guys, hope everybody is doing fine :)
Firstly, my specs:
So, this problem started recently with my PC. Sometimes when browsing or just going through folders or even typing in Word my system just freezes, I can't move the mouse, bring up task manager or anything, basically it just hangs. And within 2 seconds, my computer reboots. This started happening about a month ago(no, I didn't install any new software or anything then). At the first couple times, it happened with 1 weeks apart. I didn't give it that much thought. But for the past week, it happens almost everyday. And in addition to all that, my computer sometimes doesn't even reboot. The blue light in my CPU just stays there, no blinking, nothing. I have to turn the power off & at least wait for 15 mins and then turn on the PC. When I turn on the PC, the first couple of times it showed "Windows has Recovered from..." in my desktop. But now it doesn't even show that. All I get is "start windows normally, safe mode" black screen when starting each time.Code:-------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) Build 7601 Service Pack: Service Pack 1 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2400.0 MHz) Motherboard: Intel DG43NB (Intel G43 (Eaglelake-G) + ICH10 Consumer) Memory: 4 GBytes (Dual-Channel) Hard Drive: SAMSUNG HD103SJ (953,869 MBytes (1000 GB)) WDC WD30EURS-63R8UY0 (2,861,588 MBytes (3000 GB)) Display Adapter: ASUS ENGTX550 Ti DC Audio Adapter: Intel ICH10 - High Definition Audio Controller [A0] nVIDIA GF116 - High Definition Audio Controller Network Adapter: Intel 82567V-2 ICH10(R+) Gigabit Network Connection Monitor: ViewSonic G90f-4 -------------------------------------- Processor -------------------------------------- CPU ID: 000006FB Code Name: Kentsfield CPU Stepping: G0 CPU Platform: LGA775 (FC-LGA6) Microcode Update Revision: BA Core(s): 4 Thread(s): 4 Original Frequency: 2400.0 MHz Current Frequency: 1595.7 MHz = 6.00 x 265.9 MHz @ 1.1625 V CPU Core Temperature: 75 °C (167 °F) L1 Cache: Instruction: 2 x 32 KBytes, Data: 2 x 32 KBytes L2 Cache: Integrated: 2 x 4 MBytes CPU Thermal Design Power: 95 W -------------------------------------- Motherboard -------------------------------------- Model: Intel DG43NB Chipset: Intel G43 (Eaglelake-G) + ICH10 Consumer Slots: 3xPCI, 3xPCI Express x1, 1xPCI Express x16 PCI Express Version Supported: v2.0 USB Version Supported: v2.0 Super IO/LPC Chip: Winbond/Nuvoton W83627DHG BIOS Manufacturer: American Megatrends BIOS Date: 01/12/2011 BIOS Version: NBG4310H.86A.0107.2011.0112.1625 -------------------------------------- Memory -------------------------------------- Module Number: 0 Module Size: 2048 MBytes Memory Type: DDR2-SDRAM Memory Speed: 400.0 MHz (PC2-6400) Module Manufacturer: Transcend Error Check/Correction: None Number Of Banks: 8 Number Of Ranks: 2 Supported CAS Latencies: 5.0, 4.0, 3.0 Min.

Now, is this a problem with the motherboard or something else? Note that, this random reboot doesn't occur when I'm playing games or watching movies(not on my Windows Drive, I keep my windows drive with softwares only). It only happens when I'm out browsing or just randomly doing anything in the desktop.
Thank you for reading. I'm eagerly & gratefully waiting for your thoughts on this annoying problem.
Have a nice day
HDM
