Re: Computer Tech Help
Is the computer an E-Machine by any chance? I've seen that same sort of situation twice before on E-Machine desktops I was working on and both times it was the motherboard. It seems to be a fairly common and well known issue with them. They had a bad series of motherboards they used for some time (years?) and basically the motherboard has to be replaced.
A motherobard problem is often a hard problem to pinpoint because short of installing a new mobo, there isn't much you can do to figure it out. It is a very time consuming and even costly process to replace every single piece of hardware one piece at a time to determine what is causing the problem.
From my experience, without looking at it myself, I'd say a power supply, motherboard or the processor over heating would my first guess. Then again, you can't rule out a bad stick of RAM but it's pretty easily tested.
