PC rebooting randomly

[pkid]

I have been away for the weekend. I unplugged my PC while I was away. I have just got back. I plugged it in and it booted into Windows XP. Everything was fine until everything froze, no keyboard, no mouse. So I reboot and the PC refuses to boot properly. I opened up my case and made sure the card were plugged in okay and then tried again. It booted fine but after 5 min rebooted itself spontaneously again. It has been fine for 30 an hour now. Any ideas on what could have gone wrong?

could have been the PSU or overheating (dust). Does it seem fine now?

It does. Freaking weird. Might have been a bit of dust. Downloading Speedfan and the NVidia tools to check out some temps. Maybe that is it...

is it a girl computer or boy computer?

girl computers tend to sulk if unattended for many days.

I blame the PSU

I have a motha of a 500w AOPEN PSU and a UPS...

A UPS won't stop a PSU from overheating, though...

Still blame the PSU, use a friend's to verify
