This is very bizarre. After having installed my P4C800E-Deluxe, I am now having a very strange problem; the computer, running Windows XP Pro, will restart seemingly randomly.
Or rather, not entirely randomly; it seems to happen at specific points, although their selection is arbitrary. It seems to happen when one specific file (the latest onboard sound drivers) is partly downloaded at a particular point, and it also happened at a specific point when installing the .inf drivers that came with the CD.
The monitor will go blank, the HDD will spin down, then the computer will restart. It is very bizarre. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing the problem? I haven't even overclocked it yet.
