I'm not sure what good this will do for a hardware problem.. Check out your event viewer.. assuming your running windows.. Often times random reboots are due to heat problems or a faulty PSU. Does your new graphics card require additional 12V power? I would avoid a complete reinstall.. but if your willing I'm sure everyone could use a clean registry.

I formated and still have the problem changing some things in the bios and in the ATI control panel seems to reduce the problem but doesn't dissapears at all. I'm planning to buy a real soundcard to get decent sound and stop using this junk ac 97 sound chip eating RAM since the problem is the sound indeed and anyways soundcards are very cheap these days
