Machine randomly restarts for no apparent reason

[shassouneh 0]

Hi All,

my machine seems to be restarting very frequently for no apparent reason. I have supplied the system specs below:

 

Operating System:

running both Windows 2000 and Windows XP (the problem occurs in both). Also running Linux Mandrake 8.1 (2.4.8-26)

 

System Configuration:

 

AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHZ on an ECS k55SA motherboard. 64MB Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 400 AGP 4x

256MB DDR RAM

hard drives:

Quantum Fireball 13.0GB 5400 rpm running NTFS (12.09GB formatted)

Quantum Fireball lct 30.0GB 7200rpm (27.9GB formatted. multiple partitions)

 

Note: I have disabled advanced power options in BOTH the BIOS and Windows 2000 and XP. The problem still occurs. Any idea/solutions?
