Ok, this is dumb coming from someone who’s been working on computers for over 10 years.
I am working on a system that keeps rebooting itself. It actually turns itself off as if someone were hitting the reset button on the front of it. It especially does it when it has a load on it. By load I mean downloading something from the internet, or moving files via network. Now, the guy who built the system (I will refrain from name calling here) swears its the video card and that it just needs to be taken out and cleaned. Now logically, that makes absolutely NO SENSE! But, just to please the boss, I took the stupid video card out and cleaned it and guess what… the computer’s little ghost friend is still rebooting it! So my natural reaction to the problem was, power supply.
My question is, is there any other possible cause of this computer rebooting itself other than the power supply (I don’t wanna replace it.)
I’m not sure about this system anyways becuase of the way it was supposedly built. I have no idea if all of these are used parts out of here. so I have no idea if any of this is reliable. God I hate fixing shit after other people have screwed it up.
