Computer Just Stared Rebooting

I've always found MS TechNet ResourceKit site useful to diagnose errors:
Stop 0x0000000A or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Step-1: Check Your Software
Step-2: Check Your Hardware


Have you ever wondered about these as well?

Hmmm...AMD does jack-all for heat protection so I don't think it's that. They overheat-they die is how AMD seems to go (I've killed 3 oc'ed procs when cooling failed). Try to run a walking ones pattern through the RAM, most of the diagnostic software packages can do it. It will determine if the RAM's dropping bits.

Now when you load your system... It will not restart but it will give you an error message. You can then use that error message to diagnose the problem.

thats ecxactlly what i did and instead of just reebooting i get one of those fatal brain dumps. did SORT of solve my problem. i lifted my pc an inch of the carpet that helped lol. try it it increases the airflow in the case, therefore reducing temperature.
