Your video card may be overheating, but you did not mention it's model
number and specs in your posting.

It's a PCI-e Radeon X800 Series
the Power supply is an Antec 480w with two fans.
The temperatures that I'm seeing are about 60-70.
At this point. I've installed "several" small fans inside the case--I
don't know what else to do. switch out the card? change the memory?
what else makes computers startup spontaneously. >> Stay informed about: PC restarting troubles... |

I'm using a program called Speedfan to tell me the temperatures. How
can I tell the difference between case temp or CPU?
I purchased two additional fans and screwed them on to the removal side
panel on the case. I oriented them to blow cool air in but I'm thinking
that this is the wrong approach. Maybe I should set them up as warm air
extractors? Or maybe just change the case to cooler and more
ventilated case. >> Stay informed about: PC restarting troubles... |

Hai Alex,
This problem belongs to your graphics card.First have a
look on heat issue.the second issue mey be the problem with
driver,this case is very rare but there is a chance of driver
problem.Download the latest driver & update the driver. >> Stay informed about: PC restarting troubles... |

I was going to suggest a driver problem as well. Not necessarily a video
driver either. Re-install chipset(mobo),video and audio. After that
re-install DirextX 9C. >> Stay informed about: PC restarting troubles... |
