MattControl Panel / System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery...uncheck "auto restart on errors"
Now you will get BSOD's instead of restarts...post the error messages here.Well, that depends. If the mobo has an overheating protection program in the Bios it could be getting shutdown from there. Had a MSI board that had that nifty feature.
/shrug Either way, his response should narrow it down a bit.I had this problem before. It SOUNDS like either your power SUPPLY is done, or the RAM is jam packed full of errors. I suggest running a RAM test on each stick for about 4-5 hours to see if that is the problem.
