    Hello, I can't understand why my system, since 2-3 days, randomly reboots. I already checked for virus/worms/trojans (using updated Nod32). The system was perfectly stable until 2-3 ago.

    System:

    AthlonXP 3000+
    Gigabyte GA7VA Via KT400
    512 ddr RAM 333mhz
    Sapphire Radeon 9700pro 128mb
    HD 1 : 20 GB
    HD 2 : 60 GB
    Power Supply 350W

    thanks

    Most common reasons for random reboots are: PSU, CPU(overheating) and RAM. Next time leave the side case open and watch it, make sure all fans are running, etc. )
    Even it might not be your PSU, for your setup even with a top notch brand I believe 350W PSU would be enough. Sniff around your case and PSU to see if your nose catches any funny smells (cheap cologne smell might be you though....j/k ;) )
