I am having trouble with my computer rebooting randomly. It is a new build. Here are the stats.

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13
ECS NFORCE 570 SLIT-A (V5.1) LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI
1GB Kingston ValueRAM KVR667D2N5/1G (Don't have memory timings for this)
GeForce 7950 GT OC 512MB GDDR3
Windows XP Professional
200GB Maxtor Ultra Series
Sony 32x/10x/40x CD Drive
Sony 18x +/-R DVD Drive
700W Rosewill power supply

This is the third MB I've installed. First one was DOA. Second worked for a week with a different stick of RAM I had purchased. Purchased this third one and was told I needed the ram listed above. Now my system works except for the random reboots. Any ideas?

Random Reboting on windows XP home/Pro is usually associated with bad RAM, if the system is set to automaticaly reboot on error (in registry or group policy), check the event viewer for any error info

Seems the issue is related to the motherboard. As I've tried 3 different types of memory. I'll be rebuilding my system with an Asus board instead of this ECS junk.
