Well, its not a virus, the computer restarts even during bootup, ive observed a few things in the past few days..when the computer restarts, the power leds on the mother board go on n off once or twice n then remain as they are..so i changed the SMPS, i thought that would work, but no, i still get the problem..now a days it is more frequent..i dont know, but yesterday when it happened, i observed that for a few seconds the power to both the motherboard and the monitor had gone away..so it might be due to the spikeguard that i have, so as of now i have given power to the computer directly from the main powersupply and not through the spikeguard..i dont know if that will work, should i take the motherboard to the service center ? could it be a motherboard problem ? somehow i dont feel it would be, but im not sure..i got my old powersupply replaced for no reason it seems
this is really p***ing me off, i cant even find the root of the problem..ive changed the ram, the powersupply, booted with minimal components attatched..still doesnt work..any idea ?
@lightatdawn, can you tell me the specs of your brother's system ? i ll try looking at the touching of the case thing for now, somehow i dont think ive been touching the case much..so i dont think the problem lies there.
