    Hey all, I am experiencing random reboots on my M1530 while gaming, thing that never happened in 2 years...

    It just shut down automatically, without any BSOD, and I have the "automatic reboot" feature unticked in advanced system properties.

    I have checked and done the above:

    - temperature check, with HWMonitor, temps are fine (cpu 70, GPU 75)
    - CHKDSK
    - Tried to change the vid drivers
    - dell memory diagnosis
    - power supply check, everything is OK
    - BIOS upgrade to the latest version
    - reinstalled Vista and installed latest drivers from all components
    - turned off Vid card overclock, CPU undervold, and HD advanced cache feature

    I dunno what to do, as there is no error message or BSOD, I ran out of ideas to solve this problem, as it keeps happening no matter what...

    I need more ideas, this is so annoying! =(

    Have you tried virus/malware scan?
