Rebooting Dimension 8200

PC keep rebooting. I've checked the electric outlet. Used restored cd. The PC will reboot during normal operations. If I'm surfin the net or working on a word doc. My PC will just reboot. Am I the only one having this problem.
I have a Dell 8200 P4 2.0 Mhz with 512 Mg or ram and an 80gig HD. I've had this PC for about two weeks. A freind said it could be the power suply. I am also still waiting for my speakers that haven't arrived yet. I also have two horizontal line on my monitor. Its a 19 inch Trinitron. One on top and one on the botom. Dell said there would sent me a new one. That was the day after I got my system 2 weeks ago.
Sorry for venting....

    It seems that you have defective hardware and since you are probably still within your 30days MBG I would repack the whole system and send it back on a one way ticket to Dell. No use fixing something thats defective out of the box unless you want want to be sorry you did further down the line when new problems will most certainly appear.

    My 2 cents.

    I agree, I did it with an 8100 last year and I'm glad I did I like my 8200 a lot better, and Dell paid the return freight too. The two lines on the Trinitron are normal,one about two inches from the bottom and one about two inches from the top. Good Luck.

    hi - I'm having the EXACT same problem - my machine even re-boots when I'm looking in the bios, it's only just happened but i think I'm outside my 30 days - can Dell fix if for free?

    To those of you who have the Trinitron monitors, it is completely NORMAL for those two little lines to be seen behind the glass of your monitor. Please read your manuals regarding this Sony technology, before you blame Dell. Thank You.
