Recently my desktop started reseting randomly. Need help diagnozing the problem.
Here is the details.
motherboard is 848P-A,
have 600W power supply.
nvdia 5200 graphics card.
3 IDE harddisks of varying capacity and 1 SATA disk.
2, 512MB DDR memory. DIMM
HP CD-RW drive.
Windows XP is installed on the SATA disk.
The machine boots up and stays up if booted in 'safe' mode.
However if booted in normal mode it resets randomly, either during the boot process or about 2 minutes after logging in.
Tried a fresh install of windows on another harddisk, but the system suddenly resets during install.
Tried booting on Fedora Core Linux, same problem, either hangs or resets.
Tried disabling each disks, changing graphics card, disabling on board devices through BIOS.
problem persists.
Did some motherboard diagnostics using multimeter and instructions provided somewhere on fixya.com(cannot locate the exact link, right now). voltages show up right as per the instructions.
what could be going wrong?
