My GA-H67MA-USB3-B3 reboots randomly no bluescreen.

I have composed a new computer with the following components :

GA-H67MA-USB3-B3 motherboard, bios version is 4
Intel Core i3 2105 processor with builtin HD3000 video
OCZ vertex 3 SSD
corsair 2x2 Gb 1333Mhz DDR3 memory
passive cooling in streacom FC5OD case
Picopsu 150 watt power supply
Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

All components are barnd new, except for the SSD which has been re-formatted.
The system randomly reboots without any notification, no blue screen or *.dmp file.
Sometimes after 1 minute, sometimes after 20.

I have seen the issue more often when i try to play a HD video so i am suspecting my video which is build into the CPU.

Others have suggested to try another powersupply with more throughput, but they do not fit in the case.

I also read a lot of issue's with the SSD and the H67  6Gb SATA interface, i have also tried it connected to the 3 Gb SATA, same issue occurs.

How do i troubleshoot this issue ?

Thanks for any suggestions.

What is the BSOD codes?  They look like this 0x00000000, you can find them all in event viewer, windows, system logs, then filter that log for even ID 1001

there are no BSOD messages, just a reboot.

i managed to connect a 350W PSU from another computer and then it runs fine.

So i am going to swap the PicoPSU for another.

thanks for the tips !

Nice to see you found the culprit!   PSU is the most important part of your system, so never go cheap there!

Yes I am not surprised that the PSU isn't working. I would have been more surprised if it had! You shouild really use one around 500w minimum and a good make as well.  :o
