random reboots

[Evilization]

i have been getting random reboots in-game
now, i just reinstalled windows XP, so i guess its not virus
and i just disabled the auto restart upon system failure, but i still get random reboots (instead of BSOD)
i dont think its the temps either
OMG, can anyone help?

system:
GTX 280
e6850 @ 3.75 GHZ
2 x 1 GB DDR2 800 RAM
750W PC power & cooling PSU
evga 680i sli motherboard

I would suggest a n upgrade to Vista...

Clean out your box
do a Disk Cleanup
do a Defrag
open msconfig and disable non-critical programs from starting
and make sure your fans are working properly. when they accumulate dust they gain weight, and the weight can degrade the fan bearings

If its rebooting without a bsod check your pSu and check your connections.. I had an Asus mobo a while back that had a bad connection on the mobo psu feed and it would get HOT causing the system to reboot. Every once in a while i would have to wiggle the wires around and it would be good for a month or 2. It actually made the plastic on the connector brittle enough to brake with a touch so i replaced the board. Reboot with no warning and with reboot disable usually is Heat or Power related or both.

Remove your overclocks and see what happens.

If it was overclock issue he would get a bsod. Or it would freeze up during gaming and such.

i overclocked my CPU and RAM a long time ago (it was stable)
but last night, i tried removing one stick of RAM and remove overclock
i cleaned out the case and moved the cables around
we will see what happens

... He was trying to say 'today' before the computer rebooted

Just out of curiosity I had an issue with sound drivers that did this. I'd update all of the video and audio drivers
