4. Unclean or insufficient power to the motherboard. If
you have any unused I/O boards, hard disks, or CDROMs in
your system, try temporarily removing them or disconnecting
the power cable from them, to see if your power supply can
manage a smaller load. Or try another power supply,
preferably one with a little more power (for instance, if
your current power supply is rated at 250 Watts try one
rated at 300 Watts).
