My PC suddenly is acting like resetting but he continues to work normally. He sounds like he was processing a reset but that´s no signal of any reset. I tested RAM, power strip, viruses and other things, I really dont´know what´s going on. Any thought? Is it possible to find some type of software that runs in background and shows some possible problems in hardware? This defective behaviour, sometimes takes so long to happen, but then it happens 2 or 3 times in sequence
 
What do you mean it's acting normally but seems to have been reset?
Have settings been changed, has software been removed?
 
I mean - Everytime I turn on the computer it made a characteristic sound of being "turned on". That´s what´s happening when it suddenly "resets". He made this characteristic sound, but NOTHING has changed. That is, it continue working normally, despite the fact that he made the sound of being resetted. Settings are not changed, as well, nothing was removed
 
To my knowledge, there is no 'reset' sound.
There is a single beep at startup to flag a successful POST process.
Can you record and post this sound for us?
 
Unfortunately at my age (73 years old) I don´t think I´m able to record the sound. But anyways thank you for trying to help me. Much appreciated

Let me try to explain better. When I turn on my PC I hear the sound of CD driver initializing and a cooler beginning to function. Sometimes, randomly, during the day when I´m working, the cooler (or fan) seems to turn off and on, I hear the sound like the cooler it´s been turned on again. So that´s why I was thinking that the PC is resetting. But all of this events occurs when the PC is working normally. I meant - There´s no visible changes in the way the PC works. I hope you understand what is happening
 
If I have understood you correctly, it simple sounds like the normal operation of your PC.
Your fans will adjust their speed to match the work load - the harder the PC works, the more heat it produces, the faster the fans will spin.
They may actual turn off (stop spinning) but that's rare, more likely is they are simply running slow enough that you can't hear them over the ambient sounds in the room and that the PC is normally making.

Everything you have described would not have me thinking anything out of the ordinary is happening. :)
