This is my config -
C2D E6550 + CM HyperTX3 (?)
Biostar - TP35D2-A7
2 X 1GB - DDR2
4850 SSonic Edition 1GB
"CORSAIR VX450X"
1 X 1.5TB WD Green ( Windows XP Installed ) - 4 partitions
1 X 500GB WD Caviar - 1 single partition
The problem I am facing is the system shuts down at random , takes some time to reboot again (as in it doesnt start for a few min or restarts on its own at the startup screen)
Yesterday when i started to convert Xvid to MPEG2 (stored on the 500 GB) , the PC shut down and i was able to start it after some time but the 500 GB HDD was not recognised in the BIOS , so I thought it has breathed its last , so i removed it and started the PC , again it ran for some hrs and then again it shut down. Fed up (it was late at night and I had already seen the IT Guys so I tried to turning it OFF & ON again lol.)
Today when I started the PC to my surprise the 500 GB HDD was recognised in the BIOS !! (welcome back "ahem" movies) , but the PC shut down after some time even when that HDD was not connected.
I have narrowed my suspects to 2 , but I would like some experts to give me their opinion on this so I wont name the suspects in case i prejudice ur minds.
I am adding a pic of the everest scan for temps and voltage values.
