    computer restarts randomly - not crashing

    Hi,
    I have set in the windows xp option to *not* automatically restart when it crashes. My computer has been restarting randomly, it does not restart more when I am playing games. I have tried swapping the power supply with a known good power supply and still restarts. I have pulled out all the PCI devices and swapped the video card with a known good video card. I have also tested the memory for 12 hours using memtest86. Although 95%+ of the time it just reboots, a few times I got the BSOD with IRQL_DRIVER_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL message. Also sometimes when it dies it reboots but doesn't post (goes to a black screen - no error beeps or anything).

    I have ran mcafee antivirus and housecall just in case it was a virus. I also ran adaware and spybot. I finally just reinstalled windows, and I still have this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    BTW I'm running windows xp.
