Hello Frank,
For what it is worth, I recently did a clean install of XP on a new
Shuttle motherboard and it would reboot when it felt like it. I did not receive any error messages, however. I made many adjustments, replaced video card, etc.
but it still rebooted on it's on. What fixed it for me was the memory. Although the memory was new name brand, the system apparently had a problem with it. Once replaced, the rebooting problem went away. Oddly enough, this same stick of DDR worked fine in another system.
As far as I know, the fans should have 3 wires and connect directly to your motherboard.
I hope things work out for you.
