<br /><br /><br />Hi!<br /><br />This week I noticed that my "old" pc seemed to reboot itself at random times. It worked fine for over a half year...<br />I looked in the logs and I saw "amli: acpi ..."<br />I thought my xp install was borked so I did a clean install but the problem remains... Does it mean that I can throw away Yet another Mobo???
