Random reboots
I've been having this problem for a few years now. I get no warning message or anything. My pc reboots like someone hit the reset button. I get an error message on startup saying my pc wasn't shut down correctly but that is it. It tends to happen more when playing games but I've had it happen when I was just surfing the web. I first built this PC and started using windows vista, I thought that was the problem so I downgraded to XP, same issues. My buddy and I built the same PC's at the same time so he lent me his desktop to swap out all my parts one by one to find the problem, nothing worked. Finally I stumbled upon an article on irq conflicts and shifted my XP pc from an MPCI to a standard PC and it fixed. Now I upgraded to windows 7 and the random reboots are back. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
