Hi all,
I have a Dell optiplex gx240 computer that when running it spontaneously reboots from normal working order to the bios screen, initializing a reboot. I have eliminated heat as an issue, as the machine has been blown out free of dust and dirt. Hestsink etc is all installed properly, temps measure at 40c.
It is running windows xp pro sp3 with a p4 clocked at 1.5ghz 512mb of ram and 40gb wd caviar hdd.
I did a fresh reformat on it. So software wise I think everything is correct. I’m assuming this is a hardware problem. I got the bsod once (didn’t remember the error code) and now every time after that it just turns to a black screen and restarts to the bios.
any ideas? hoping to get this fixed soon. It does this during computer usage and during idle phases.
Thanks in advance. If you need any info, please let me know. I would be glad to provide it.
question: do you think my ram is bad? Well at least one of the 2 sticks?
