Two questions: 1) I use my computer for variable amounts of time 2 - 20 minutes and for no reason ( as it can just be idling ) it reboots. The one thing I know does that is a main voltage drop to the CPU. Does it sound like a bad MB or Power supply? Please note that this box has been un-opened for 3+ years so there was no recent change ( other then the last Ubuntu update ). Problem is I can't really do anything before it reboots
2) I am not going to put $$$ in to 5+ year old hardware. What is the current must have Intel chipset / CPU ( not looking for top of the line ) Want to continue exploring Programming via Virtualization so I'm thinking Intel 4 core with a new nvidia GPU. So I'm looking for mother board chip set and nvidia recommendations, since I really think it's time for a new system ( well that is parts Power, MB, CPU, Memory, GPU ) -- /** Joe Apuzzo ** Call: KD2AKU ** PGP/GPG: key ID BB5C7 **/
