    ECS GeForce6100PM reboot issues

    It reboots randomly without any warning and sometimes it takes forever too boot Windows. Hard drive is fine, I don't have ESR meter yet to check for caps, could it be the southbridge?

    Did you get a Windows crash report in the event log?
    Windows probably detected a problem so it rebooted on you. (default behavior)

    If Windows has a fatal error, it will reboot itself by default. (Microsoft's "feature" of NT-based Windows)

      No man, same thing after 2 OS reinstallations. Sometimes it even locks up while loading Windows.

        If mobo ever worked properly, than it's capacitor problem...

          The BlueESR I ordered is on its way, in the meantime, what else can I test on this ECS motherboard?

            Have you run memtest? It could also be the chipset BGA failing, the 6100/6150 are notorious for that.

              I'm dumb! How could I forget something so simple as that? It kept hanging before I could even boot Memtest+, cleaned the DIMM slots and so far the tests pass. Will do a stability test for 6 hours, if it runs fine, I assume that was the issue.

                  Yeah... the solder balls on the BGA crack.
