Constant rebooting

[Psychatog]

So a friend of mine has a PC with an I7-920, 4x2GB DDR3 ram, small SSD and a large storage drive.  VIdeo card is a GTX 650 TI, PSU is an Antec Gamer Series 400W 80+ Bronze PSU.  He's getting random reboots several times a day.  Generally speaking that is ram and I am hoping as much because the motherboard costs 150+ used at best on eBay lol.

Might be due to power consumptions.

That sounds like a RAM issue. Try putting only one stick in at a time and see if he still gets the reboots?

[Valhallatier]

might be power surge/ drop?

It's happening to him 3-4 times a day

That is the first thing I am gonna try.

650 Ti and I7-920 don't even push 300W let alone 400

Best way of testing ram sticks is???

HCImemtest or prime95 (take custom and change ram to 95% of the max available ram). Don't use memtest it just scans for bad sectors and didn't detect any errors prime or hcimemtest could find multiple times. It's either a RAM issue or PSU

Test the ram and see what happens. Also you might want to upgrade the psu it could be from power consumption due to like gaming or using the computer in a high power comsuming application.
