I thought it was a memory problem. So I ran the memtest program (A very good program for testing memory) I got no memory errors but it was spontaneously rebooting during the test as well. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't a memory problem so began to look elsewhere and discovered that my chip-set fan was running slowly and at times would even stop. It was when the computer was working hard and the fan would stop that the computer would reboot. I quickly realized that the chip-set was overheating and rebooting the computer. I replaced the fan and no more problems. Thanks to this program I was able to figure out what the problem was.

Memtest86 should run until you turn it off. It does not restart the system. This indicates a random reboot when the memory is put under load, which is a common symptom of bad memory. If you have multiple sticks of memory try testing them one at a time to determine which stick is bad. Good luck! Hi Keith,

It is used mainly to determine if blue screen errors, lock-ups or reboots are being caused by your RAM. You can run the test on the sticks in your system one at a time to determine which stick is bad so you know which one to replace. Hope that helps. Sooks,
