Re: PC randomly restarts.

the reg unloading error can be aleaviated by installing the User Profile
Hive Cleanup Service; google for it.

--------

Random resets are almost always due to one of three things: RAM errors,
Heat, or Power Supply problems.

Run memtest86+ to validate the RAM (ALWAYS do this on a new build, BEFORE
installing the OS!!!). ZERO errors is the only acceptable result. Run it
for at least 2 hours, overnight is best.

Use a HW monitor to check temps; check you MB maker's site. Look inside
the case and check that air flow is not restricted in any way, and that
all fans are running correctly.

PS problems are hard to check w/o actually buying a new PS and trying it.
Also, sometimes it's not the PS, but the VRM (voltage regulation modules)
on the motherboard. Look carefully for bad capacitors (bulging, leaking;
very unlikely on a new board; more likely is bad solder flows).

Since it's a new build, at least the MB can be returned if you're SURE
it's defective.

from your description (worked fine for 9 days), I'd guess heat, tho of
course it could be Software related. What changed in the last day or so?

Better than 50% of crashes caused by SW are due to drivers, and they are
typically NOT repeatable errors, but are timing related and show their
ugly head only under just the right conditions, which are hard to
duplicate. A for-$$ product called Alexander SPK is very good at finding
these driver errors; getting them fixed is another matter...

Good Luck.
