Re: MSI MS-7125 - strange reboots - what could be the reason?

I'm pretty sure my new power supply is good...

Except for caps... is there anything else on the motherboard that "uses up" ?

My system reboots, goes into POST and beeps

What to do? Recap the mobo I have or replace it with a new one?

Fine,

I'm frustrated enough to go and buy a different power supply just to get it out of equation.

What do you guys recommend? (~ 600W)

I had no idea caps can go bad until my PC started going into random reboots and I've found this website...

Replacement (temporary) PSU is also Antec. Model Basiq. 500W. Purchased brand new at Cricuit City 3 weeks ago.

Hi all,

I’d like to ask for advice; I’ve run out of ideas myself and I need some help. Here is my story:

I’ve built my PC in January of 2005. The mobo is MSI MS-7125 (K8 Neo4) with Opteron 165. Power Supply is Antec Neo 480. Ram is Corsair 2GB DDR500. 3 hard drives. 2 optical drives. Ati 1800. SCSI card. TV tuner card.

CPU is overclocked from 1.8 to 2.7 Ghz (FSB 250Mhz, HTT 3x). Core at 1.4V, ram at 2.7V

System was rock stable for over 2 years until August of 2007. I mean I averaged like 2-3 reboots per month sometimes;...
