Hi all,

I have a Celeron 1600 that I built about a year ago and it's suffering from a problem of random restarts, with or without a load. Win98se... Restarts sometimes as soon as 1-5 minutes and sometimes after several hours. No blue screen of death, just acts as if the reset button was pressed.

Temps are mid 30's for the Mombo and low to mid 40's on the cpu. I checked all connections inside and made sure they were all nice and tight. Reformatted and reinstalled OS. Next I thought it might be "dirty power" so I moved the system to a circuit with little to no other connections in the house. No go, same problem. Considered power supply and dropped in a brand new 450 watt. Still no go.

I have 3 other computers here and none of them do this. What components should I now target on this system and in what order?

Thanks for helping
