Ok... fan was checked, and it works... what about overheating? Check your BIOS,
as some BIOSes have a tab for motherboard diagnostics... and, well, you want
to go in there as soon as the computer reboots, and check the temperature of
your processor and inside your computer, if the BIOS has that.
Let me know if that comes up.

Troth,
We haven't added any new hardware, it shouldn't be the processor or mb
because the computer is less than a year old, I believe he put in a 350 watt
power supply because it is a 1.5 gig sytem, he had already checked the fans to
make sure they were all running, and the wierd thing is before he wiped the
drive and reinstalled windows 98se, it did not do this.
Thanks

Possible causes could be a bad processor or bad motherboard (although
unlikely).
Also, an overheated processor will cause the machine to shut down (not too
sure if it would reboot, as opposed to clean cut shut down). Overheated
processor can be caused by either a disfunctional. Or, you might have
power-supply problems, in which case either your power supply is bad, or simply
not enough for all the stuff you have attached to your system.
Do you know the wattage on your power supply? Have you added any new hardware
either internally or via USB?

Hi,
We just got done loading windows on, and now every so often the computer
reboots by itself, and its not just once in awhile. we were trying to download
direct x and before that was done, it rebooted, we then loaded a game, and it
rebooted so it is doing it quite often, could someone enlighten us to what
might be going on. My husband builds and fixes computers, but he has never run
into this particular problem before.
TIA
Jen
