Hi my computer restarts periodically - i cannot spot any patterns to it. I checked the event viewer and under system i get: Ive just put a new 350w power supply in (the power its always had) so i cant think it would need more? Also, when it reboots, it then gives me the keyboard error, press f1 to continue - i cant get passed this unless i switch it off at the wall for about 30secs or so and then it will come back on, but i only think this is the result of a different problem making it restart. Anyone have any ideas on this? Cheers
Did this problem happen when you put the new PSU in, or did it start before, and you're saying the new unit didn't fix the problem?
Brown-outs (low voltage) sometimes cause such issues...did you notice the lights dim at all when this issue happens?
No, my original 350w went pop, so i used a temporary 200w which used to turn off if i even plugged a usb device in (as expected) and now ive got a 350 back in and its still got the problem. It never used to happen with the original 350. No, there was no dimming of lights or anything - used to have them at my old house and never noticed it at this one (and the problem has come with me).
It does sound awfully like the old PSU has damaged something, or that the new PSU is faulty as well. What brands were the PSUs you used?
