So I got my new power supply. 550W Corsair. I spent all night cleaning out my PC and getting everything back into it. I installed windows, grabbed all my data off of my HD, and then reinstaled windows on to the hard drive that I had been using after a clean reformat.
I proceeded to install my other HDD so I'd be running 2 Hard drives in non RAID mode. One for media and one for programs and such. Well I seem to be having random reboots. It did it while i was reformatting the smaller HD, then it did it again while I was trying to run windows update. It was in the middle of updating...boom shuts off. After it rebooted...it did it almost immidately. These arent total hangs, the thing just reboots.
I'm thinking motherboard. If it is...it would almost make sense to get a new system but that will be more expensive than getting a new mobo, even if it is 939. Sound like a mobo problem?
