Ok I gotta challange for you guyz! Symptoms: Computer Restarts Randomly What its Not: Memory, CPU, CPU Fan, Hard drive, OS, Optical Drive. Might be: Power Supply, Motherboard. I dont think its the Power Supply tho. I've ran Hardware Tests and everything Passed with flying colors, Ram passed but still replaced because sometimes doesnt show up in tests, i dropped the CPU temp to the lowest it can go, replaced the CPU, CPU Fan, RAM, Reinstalled XP 3x. I'm thinking its the mobo but all tests checkout.... So came to you for some advice! Any opinions will help! Thanx

any error message after restart ?

have you checked the capicitors on your MB ?
Small round towers on your MB with a cross on top should be flat on top not raised

Power supply could be the Problem
Have it tested or try another

It could be a driver issue
Try orignal cd drivers
run a dos based burn in from a bootable cd

I've seen loose add on cards cards and damaged slots cause this particuarly AGP

clean ram contacts on MB with a circuit board cleaning spray

Disconect CD, Dvd drives and periferals (printers etc)

I think they're the main areas to look at but there are about a thousand other possabiltys
