pc always reboot by itself

[steve]

My pc always keeps rebooting but only for initially probably 10 min. after
that it will be ok.
I tried to install a new window xp on a second Harddisk and start up from
the second HD, however it still auto reboot by itself. It can reboot
anytime, i.e. during system boot or window start up or playing a game. I find
it very annoying . Sometime it will reboot for 5 times and ok after that.
I dont think it a software cos i have try to start up from a newly install
XP from a second harddisk.
Please help me

My computer did the same thing, and it wound up being the Power Supply. The
Hardware monitor in the BIOS showed one of the voltages to be too low.

Good luck.

Please post a copy of the Stop Error Report.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Hope this helps.
