Hi my computer restarts periodically - i cannot spot any patterns to it.
I checked the event viewer and under system i get:

Description:
The Power Manager service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
Ive just put a new 350w power supply in (the power its always had) so i cant think it would need more?
Also, when it reboots, it then gives me the keyboard error, press f1 to continue - i cant get passed this unless i switch it off at the wall for about 30secs or so and then it will come back on, but i only think this is the result of a different problem making it restart.

No, my original 350w went pop, so i used a temporary 200w which used to turn off if i even plugged a usb device in (as expected) and now ive got a 350 back in and its still got the problem. It never used to happen with the original 350.
Originally posted by KillerBug: Brown-outs (low voltage) sometimes cause such issues...did you notice the lights dim at all when this issue happens?
No, there was no dimming of lights or anything - used to have them at my old house and never noticed it at this one (and the problem has come with me).
