Issue with Random Restarts


Recommended Posts

Processor :AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.1GHz

Video Card: EVGA 256-P2-N761-AR GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB

RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 4GB

Operating System: Microsoft Vista Ultimate x64

Power Supply: 500watt

Motherboard: asus m3a78

Issue: At random times, the display will go blank and the computer will restart. Unlike other random restarts, heres the odd part: whenever something happens like say i unlike my ethernet cable or usb drive it also cause that error. Another new problem: if i let the pc idle for like 2 or mintues, the screen will also go blank and restart

Any ideas what kind of temps you are seeing on the CPU? Also, have you run memtest to be sure everything is alright with your ram? I am not sure what you mean by 'unlike' your ethernet cable of usb drive. Are you talking about unplugging them from the PC?

Sorry for that stupid error, heres what i mean:

When i unplug my ethernet cable or any usb device my screen godes blank then seconds later i heard my pc restarting all over again. Here are my temps:

Temperatures:

Motherboard 27 ?C (81 ?F)

CPU #1 / Core #1 12 ?C (54 ?F)

CPU #1 / Core #2 14 ?C (57 ?F)

Aux 34 ?C (93 ?F)

GPU 34 ?C (93 ?F)

GPU Diode 45 ?C (113 ?F)

GPU Ambient 27 ?C (81 ?F)

Seagate ST3320620AS 26 ?C (79 ?F)

I have reinstalled vista x64 sp1 mutiple times. Ran memtest for 8 hours and says no problems with my ram. I also notice if i let vista idle more then 5mintues everything shuts down automaticly every thru i have my power options set to never sleep/hibernate/etc...
