I recently rebuilt my system using a Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H, AMD A64
X2 6000, eVGA GeForce 8500GT with 512 MB RAM, and two 1GB sticks of
Kingston PC6400 DDR2 RAM. Finished the rebuild the night after
Christmas, and have had the system upp 99% of the time since then.
Yesterday (09-Jan) I went down to my office and logged on, and noticed
that the system had been rebooted. NP - Windows said that the system
had been automatically rebooted after an update. So, I start reading
e- mail, and all the sudden the system reboots. It gets past the
memory count and drive detection, then reboots again. It does this
several times befofe finally going into Windows. When I get logged in,
I check the Event logs and find no entries possibly related to this
event. The system proceeds to go through this cycle. I finally powered
it off for about 2 minutes and started it up again, and it ran fine
for about 10 minutes before starting this cycle again. During that
time, I checked the CPU and system temps and found them to be in
acceptable range (BTW - the Cooler Master Hyper 212 is an AWESOME CPU
heat sink/fan!). SO - do I have a faulty board or a faulty CPU?
Do you have another power supply on hand that you could try?

Unfortunatley not. I have been thinking about building another system
using an old case, so this could be just the excuse I need to get that
project started...- Hide quoted text -

UPDATE: Everything seems to be just ducky now. I replaced the power
supply (was a Zalman 400W fanless, now PC Power & Cooling 750W) on
Saturday. Shortly thereafter I started experiencing numerous BSODs,
with varying messages. Most pointed to memory as an issue. I did two
things in succession, not sure which one actually fixed the BSODs:
upgraded the driver for the GeForce 8500, and upgraded the driver for
the NetGear GA-311 gigabit network card. After that, I pushed the
system pretty hard, moving a large number of files, running audio and
video, and graphics intensive apps while cruising the net. It hasn't
BSOD'd on me even once since then, or thrown any errors in the system
or application event logs. Thanks everyone for your help! - Pat
