On a really really old system many years ago, I had random reboots, lock ups and such. I swapped P/S, memory and other components that I could but it still did it. I finally figured it had to be something hard wired on the motherboard and just replaced the whole thing. I figure a controller chip or something was the problem. One thing about puters and random problems, they are hard to nail down. P/S and memory are a common problem but something bad on the mobo can give the same symptoms. Basically, you have to replace stuff until it stops doing whatever it shouldn't be doing. I have seen people have enough parts to build a second rig short the case of course. As always, it is the last thing you replace and sometimes it can be the last thing you CAN replace. ;-) Personally, I'd prefer one that doesn't work at all. Tends to narrow it down a lot. If replacing the P/S don't fix it, time for a new build. It is dead. For a 6 year old puter, I'd just have to try fixing it tho. I usually get at least 8 years out of a build.
