The other day I was just on my computer and it decided to resart on me. Then all of a sudden it does it again. A couple days ago it would it would restart about every half hour. Now i can't even boot into windows without it restarting. Most times when i boot it up now i can't even see anything on the screen unless i allow the computer to sit for about 15 minutes. Even when I can boot it always shows that i have 80 mbs or 130 mbs or ram when i really have 512. I think this has something to do with either my motherboard or powersupply. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT! Thank you,

Nick
