Dell Inspiron Reboots Intermittently
Old Dell Inspiron 530 Reboots (no BSOD) from Windows. More often when I run all 4 cores. Sometimes it will run for a few seconds and reboot. Other times it will go for hours or days. Throttling back to 2 cores seems to help.
* I have replaced the CPU. Cleaned the heat sink. Fan is running. It does not appear to be heat related.
* I installed a graphics card to get away from the onboard Intel.
* Switched the memory around and took out two of the sticks (leaving me with 2 GB)
Why would going to all 4 cores make it worse? I'm baffled.
