I was having the same problem which started when I installed an ethernet/firewire/usb
combo pci card. My system would just keep restarting. I removed the pci card and
it still kept restarting. I then tried a different video card and one by one removed
all pci cards with no change untill the last one which was an mn-730 wireless network
pci card then it restarted fine. I replaced everything and disabled the wireless
network card and system starts fine. With system running normal I enable the network
card and within 5-10 sec. computer detects new hardware and then shuts down to the
restart cycle. There is an option in the wireless settings for an (adhoc) with that
disabled and the card enabled the system works fine the second I select (adhoc) and
hit ok the system goes into the restart cycle. Anyone know the cause of this or a
way to work around it. For now I removed the wireless network card and am thinking
of going with an external wireless router or will that cause the same problem. Thanks,
John
