Ok, my hardware:
Abit IS7-E2, 865PE, 800FSB, DDR400, LAN
CDROM 52x Asus, Retail
Pentium4, 2800MHz Socket 478 FSB533
Floppydrive Sony 3.5", White
Abit R9600XT-VIO Radeon 9600XT, VIVO
Maxtor +9 SATA, 80GB, 8MB, Fluid, 7200RPM
Maxtor DM10 SATA, 160GB, 8MB, Fluid, 7200RPM
LiteOn - DVD+/-RW/RAM 16x8x16 DL8x IDE
Q-Tec V-MD 400W Miditower, 14028
Kingston DDR2700, 512 MB x 2
WinXP Pro SP2 all updates
NAV 2003
Office
Steam etc.
Had it since july 2004 and has worked like charm.
The DVD-drive I bought abou a month ago.
Now, a couple of days ago, I let it run overnight, when
I came back to it next day, it had stopped respondng.
I then hit the reset button, and it rebooted until just
before the first sign of windows appears, then it reboots
on its own until I pull the plug. I began to troubleshoot,
same in safe mode, found it had to be either the mobo or HDD.
I tried reinstall WinXP, and after formatting and copying
files, and rebooting, same thing as before, it reboots on
its own.
It had to be the mobo, I thought, at some point I couldn't
even get the thing started, I mean, the fans start running,
and stop again after about 1 sec.
Tried take out RAM 1 slot at a time, tried each in both slots,
removed all drives, to no avail. Did a lot of other things,
which I can't remember.
Bought new mobo, Asus P4P800-X, i865PE, FSB800, DDR400.
Installed it, same thing as before, can't even get into BIOS.
Could it be the PSU?
Anyone experienced this?
Cheers
