Constant Re-boot (Core Duo 2.0ghz)

I am having an issue with my computer constantly rebooting. I thought it was a problem with Snow Leopard, but I have replicated it with Leopard as well, both on clean installs. It usually will happen at start up, and do it a couple of times, then it will run for a while. It will also hang when it goes to sleep, and if it does, a forced shutdown usually gets the rebooting problem happening again. I have reset pram and smc with no luck. I have also ran Memtest 86 from the Kubuntu Live CD. I did get 1 error, but that was it, and I ran memtest several times over a four hour period. I only got the one error. I guess that's all it takes though huh? Anyone else have this problem and/or any solutions? I am going to be replacing my ram to see if that helps, but if someone has any suggestions I could try before then that would be great. One last thing, I'm running Windows 7 now and I don't get any issues until it goes to sleep and it will then reboot and hang. I did manually hibernate the computer today and had no issues coming out of that. Thanks a bunch,

Greg
