    Today while i was trying to install my new router my computer just restarted out of nowhere, it happened again while playing WoW, and it just happened for the 3rd time while playing WoW. After the 3rd time my computer would reboot as soon as it got to windows. It is now staying on, but it could shut off at any moment, so if you guys have any ideas as to whats wrong i would greatly appreciate it.

    Specs are over on teh side, im using Windows XP pro, and my temps arent to high.

    Specs are over on teh side, im using Windows XP pro, most of my temps are fine, but my video card does get kinda hot, but considering it rebooted when i was loading software i dont think that is the issue.

    SRY for the double post my internet was lagging

    Good Luck.

    you should run memtest and make sure your ram isn't causing any errors.
    what power supply are you using?
