How are all your other fans in the machine? Can you check in your BIOS if you
have any monitoring section? If so, after a shutdown you can go into the BIOS
and check the temperature of the CPU and see if maybe that's overheating.

| I'm working on a PIII-550 machine that has randomly been shutting
| down/restarting - sometimes within an hour, somtimes within 3 hours or
| more. My first thoughts lead to the power supply or ram. So, after
| completely wiping hard drive and reinstalling XP, I install and run
| burnin software for testing. There are 3 sticks of sdram - 256mb, 128mb
| and 64mb. I run the machine with only one ram stick at a time, and run
| the burnin software - only to see the pc shutdown/restart with each
| one. Next I replace the power supply (with higher 400w version), and it
| seems to run good....only to see it shutdown/restart after about 12
| hours of use. When it'll happen again is anyone's guess.
| So, what else should I be looking at?
