|  Computer Randomly Restart
Hey, I have a
Circero (future shop) XP
AMD 2400+
FX 5200 128 meg
512 RAM
I've had it for about 3 months - and a few weeks ago every so often the computer restarts. I've been told it's shortage of power, but i'm not to sure
It's not a virus
Also no warning or anything comes up, just restarts
any help?

Any idea what temperatures you are running at? Possible heat problem, or like you said-power supply. My computer did the same exact thing. I would be surfing the web or something and it would just restart. But it was an eMachines so it had an excuse.  | |

It just restarted again
Thank you for submitting an error report. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with specific information about how to resolve this problem at this time. The information that you and other users submit will be used to investigate this problem.
Analysis
A device driver installed on your system caused the problem, but we cannot determine the precise cause.
It had this error it restarted
My video card is from the FX series, the 5200...not sure what else to say
I have one C: 80gigs, one CD ROM (dvd and burner in one)
I will find out voltage soon
thanks | |

Have a spare power supply laying around to see if it is in fact the power supply?
BTW, how often does it restart on you? | |
