My son's pc intermittently reboots itself without any notice while he working on it. I checked the processor fan and found it ok, i tested the hard disk to my own pc and did not encounter the problem. I assume the problem may be on the power supply. Did i miss anything on the tests? What do i need to do check further to find the cause of this?
