When i start up my computer it'll reboot itself after 5-10 minutes, and 5-10 minutes after that again. What's wrong ?

Hello Dutchworks,

Welcome to PC Guide Forum!

Random reboots are very often associated with heat problems either with the CPU or the Power Supply. Have you done anything recently "under the hood?" Do you have anything that provides you feedback on the CPU temps?

Is there any particular thing you are doing at the time of the Reboots?

A little more system information would also help.

------------------
May all your dealings in life be win/win!

Check out your RAM to make sure it's seated properly...not only did my computer reboot itself, it also told me that the memory size had decreased! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif One of my RAM cards wasn't snapped in all the way.

Hope ya figure it out! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Thanks for the replies guys, i'm in the middle of moving so i can't figure it out at the moment. When i'm settled (after the weekend) i'll spend some time on my computer and i'll let you know.
