MSI KT3-Ultra
XP1500+
512 Megs matched Nanya PC2700
Abit Siluro MX 400/64 Meg Video
Realtek NIC
New Sparkle Power 400 Watt PS
Those are the specs, this is what happened.
The old PS ps was a Codegen 350 Watt that came with the case.
Computer ran flawlessly for about a year or more.
(Built it for Ex-Girlfriend out of spare parts for her school, don't remember timing details, long story!)
Apparently, the fan in the Codegen PS froze up and stopped turning, PS overheated and cooked, as evidenced by the burnt pc board inside!
I put in the new Sparkle unit listed above, reset the cmos, and bang, it booted just fine. I had to put the network back together in her house as they had taken it apart for the hurricanes, and I got her back on line. Within 5 minutes, the computer started spontaneously rebooting. It gets to the black windows logo screen and then hard reboot. I got into safe mode, and into "my docs" just to see if I could get there, and trying to open a file caused another reboot.
That's where I am at this moment, the computer open on my desk. I need to say that I also got into the bios, checked system temps and volts and all looked OK.
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
