[SOLVED] PC resetting when left unattended.
Hey guys,
The pc showing in my 'spec' profile is a new build, its been running great for about a week.
I opened it up to drop in another 4 Gig of RAM and a Light (tiny little blue tube thing, just to give it a nice glow) and as far as i knew all was great.
It was on last night, when i got up this morning all was still great. then at some point this after noon it had reset and stuck in the 'loading OS' screen saying BOOT (something) not found'
I immediately turned off the PC, opened it up and checked all was well, it was, so, i turned it back on. all was fine (apart from the usual 'windows did not shut-down correctly screen)
EDIT: so far its not done this while ive been sitting using it
then later today i was streaming a TV show over to my playstation (PS3 media server) and about 20 mins in poof, the PC was resetting.
It did it twice more.
I have since removed the extra RAM I added and with or without it i am still having this strange issue.
as it the only clue i had was the hard drive i have turned off the option to 'put hard drive to sleep after X mins' in POWER options.
any advice would be great.
EDIT: turns out by disabling my PC lights the problem went away - thank you for help
