Hi all

the subject explains the problem really - over the last few days, my PC
has started to reboot itself every few hours - I've no idea why it's
doing it - the cooling fan seems ok - no unhealthy noises from the PC -
it just, every now dies and then instantly starts booting up again..

Any suggestions on how to locate and fix the problem?

Look at the capacitors, if they're domed rather than flat that's your
problem, happened to me a few years ago.
