Hello, I am having a major annoying problem. My computer keeps rebooting by itself. When it starts to reboot it will reboot continuosly untill i shut it down and turn it back on again. Then i have some to no time at all before it starts to do the same thing. I checked if it could be an overheating problem which it isn't. I checked for viruses and worm and its not it. This happens at different times, sometimes the comp is on for a couple of min sometimes hours without restarting.
Specs- WinXP PRO Amd athlon 2000+ 1500 ddr ram Radeon 9200 128mb pro

Overheating would be what I would suspect as the, but if you checked the cpu with a thermometer or your fingers to see if it was hot, I would then check the power supply.

Check for swollen or leaky capacitors on the motherboard.
