Hey I was just having a general problem with random restarting of my
machine and also it does not boot up properly every time I start it
up. Sometimes it gets stuck at the initial load screen (the ABIT
screen). I disabled the full screen windows logo in BIOS so now it
gets stuck after 1. the mobo screen comes up with nothing under the
small logo in the upper right of the screen or 2.it recognizes the
main processor and doesn't do anything else. IT IS SO ANNOYING not
having your PC start up after 5-10 restarts. Something is obviously
wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated...my nerves can't take
much more of this. Thanks all.

1. Run Memtest overnight if you can. If you get any errors you have
memory problems.

2. Check capacitors on MB any that are swollen,distorted, or ruptured
indicate a problem. Usually costs more to replace components than to
purchase new MB.

3. Power supply problem, no easy way to trouble shoot, because problem
is noise level out of power supply. If you would be fortunate enough to
have access to a scope, you would be able to make solid diagnoses in a
couple minutes otherwise it's remove and replace time.
