Okay, i've upgraded my mobo, cpu and ram.
Core 2 Quad Q6600 OCZ 800MHz DDR2 RAM Gigabyte Nforce 650i mobo + 8800 GTS 1 HDD 1 ODD 3 Case fans. It wasn't a bundle but they a compatable. After the build i freshly installed Vista i installed all the updates and drivers but while gaming or even watching a DVD it just restarts. Firstly i thought it was the power supply and as i had a poor quality PSU i brought a new one, 550w Antec Trio but it didn't solve the problem. Thought it might have been Vista so i formatted and went back to XP. I disabled automatic restart when windows get an error think a blue screen would give me some info - But it just restarts as usual. Overheating isn't the problem as i'm well ventilated and i've ran profilers, everest and AIDA while gaming and the temps were fine. I've tried a different graphics card in their and ran a memory test which was succesful. I installed all the drivers that came with the motherboard and the ones from Nvidia website. I've uped the voltage for my RAM because default was 1.8 and sometimes that isn't enough. I've restored the BIOS back to defaults and now i'm running out of options. Can anyone help? Cheers. |

Are you overclocking, try putting everything back to defaults and see if the situation improves.

Based on what you are saying about going back to a fresh install etc and as the hardware is new and it has done it from the off I would get the CPU swapped.
