pc restarts.. what is the reason?

[Aone]

my intel d101gcc mobo "features guide" says that it supports ddr400\300mhz rams.So ddr means ddr1 right? and i feel every apps including games and winamp closes with MS error report sceen appearing.my pc restarts itself sometimes.i thought tht it may be due to ram it is 2yr old one and mobo is just bought on last november.its very dispointing when pc restarts convertxtoDVD sw converts videos to DVD 87% pls advice me...

THe 1st advice is to check ur power supply,
2nd check if ur system is not over heating.

ur mobo is new so there is no chance of dusty slot but its better if u check....

has this problem started just after u bought the new mobo??

just open ur cabinet, its heating problem ........

check ur FANS ...... clean them up, if dust prevents it from rotating ......

try switching RAM from ur frds pc if same frq .....


or TRY software used 2 check hardware speed, temp .......

i think it is the problem of heating.otherwise check the power supply.

Newer mother boards have protection for overheating and so do processors your problem is surely releated to ram module or dimm Just replace it with a new good quality ram module(512MB 400Mhz)And see how it works for u.
