Dell Studio 1537 - PP33L

[mike9h29]

Hi,

I recently replaced a mainboard on a Dell Studio 1537 - PP33L.

It worked fine for 1 month, then it started to restarts automatically.

It does it when idle, when on the internet, when paying games, etc!

Can some one give me some hints please? Maybe I need to repair the mainboard?

Thanks

Most likely failed RAM. Run memtest.

I may be something else too, like HDD. What tests have you done so far?

I`ve changed the ram, cpu and hard drive still same problem. I also tried a new psu, still doing the same

i think its a mainboard issue.

Whats best? Try to repair the mainboard or just replace it?

And what should I look for if repairing?

Thanks

Motherboard repair is not a simple thing. You may make things worse if you're not used to that type of intervention.

But, if you want to start, first look at the temperatures. Then search for cold joints. It's a start.

Post your findings, maybe we can help you more when you provide more info.
