Sorry to double post, but i neglected to inform that the RAM was DDR 400Mhz.
Thanks

I recently assembled my own computer. I'm pretty up on the computer world but for some reason this setup likes to shut down on me:
848P-A ECS Motherboard http://www.ecsusa.com/products/848p-a.html
P4 3.0E Ghz Processor
350Watt ATX Power Supply
Nvidia GForce 5200 128Meg Video Card
- I have a cd drive and dvd burner but i don't think those apply here.
I first assembled it all and used 512Meg Corsair RAM but after almost a hundred memory dumps I was told that the ram was the problem. I exchanged that for 512Meg Kingston RAM which should work great.
I reformatted and put my Windows XP Home Edition on the computer. The setup restarted probably 15 times before finally making it all the way through. Then after making it through the install, I still have restart issues. For no reason the computer restarts itself. No warning noises or boxes of any kind. Any Ideas.
thanks a lot,
Bryan
