My PC randomly and repeatedly reboots itself, as if I
had pushed the reset button. Sometimes it is stable
for an hour or two and at other times it reboots
several times in rapid succession, even before it has
loaded windows fully.
It is a dual boot system, the default OS is Windows
98SE with Mandrake Linux on a separate hard disk.  I
am fairly sure it is a hardware problem because if I
select Linux this also crashes randomly.  I dont think
it is a clash between windows and linux because they
were both running OK for about six months before this
started.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to the most likely
cause of this?

Thanks
Ben McDui
