Reboots with no reason.

by kroseinaz . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

I have purchased a custom build tower that since May of 07 I have gone back and forth with the supplier because of the condition I will describe. The computer will randomly reboot without any visible reason. It can go for 10 minutes or hours, then suddenly shut down and restart. This is actually the second tower the company has shipped to me. This one (#2) was returned for service twice now, the first time they said the motherboard needed replaced. The second time (after they shipped it to me and it didnt work) was because the drivers they supplied (via the net) were wrong, so I demanded they install the right drivers. Running XP Pro, updated service pack 2. Upon return the second time it had a device error message(which it seemed to be relative to the wireless card) which I replaced, but after a few hours, started the rebooting problem again. Device Manager did not show any issues. I did a system restore, which took it back to the factory when they did the driver installs, but it did not include the wireless card driver.

Any help would be great, (before I just shoot the thing)
