All,

Thanks for all the past suggestions with my random rebooting problem. Long
Story short, my v1.3, 2 year old K7S5A mobo had around a dozen failing
capacitors around the power supply and DDR RAM sockets. Many were domed on
top, and one actually burst on the bottom and leaked lytic material. (I
didn't look at it that closely in my past examinations of the hardware)

I'm not sure if the box got too hot on the inside, or if the Caps. are
substandard. The Box was on 24/7 but the case temps. never seemed to get
excessive...

I replaced with a Pro r 5.0 and all is finally well...

Thanks again...
