Scratch the printer for being the problem.
Happened a couple more times since I disconnected it.

I would try swapping out the PSU or system ram.

I don’t have another power supply but I think I do have some extra ram sticks.

If the RAM doesn't fix it I have the ATX power supply boards.  It's the small board that mounts on top of or inside of the brainbox (depends on your model).

I am about to swap out the RAM in a little while.
What’s the cost of those boards?

$25 + shipping.  They're brand new boards.

Well I am hoping this is it finally.
I put new thermal paste on the CPU heat sink and swapped the single 4GB RAM stick for 2 2GB sticks and it has been running perfectly for the last 2 1/2 hours without any random reboots.
I am going to leave it on all night and I set up one of my security cameras facing it so I don’t have to keep running up and down the basement stairs to check on it.
I’ll report back in the morning to see if it made it through the night.

So you was running a 4gb stick? Did it recognize it as such? I thought 4gb was max (2 sticks of 2gb). That might have been the problem the whole time.

Yeah it had 1 4GB stick.
I am almost positive that it did recognize it as 4GB when I was looking through the diagnostic thumb drive screens the other day.
So far it certainly appears that it was the problem, it is still running without a reboot since I changed them.

Even if it recognized 4gb it was only in single channel mode.  Using 2x slots 2gb doubles the theoretical  bandwidth and puts it in dual channel mode.  One 4gb stick is not a good idea.

I never knew what it had in there until I opened it up the other day.
Not sure why the guy I got it from didn’t know that because he had a whole pole barn filled with slot machines that he worked on.
Every time I talked to him about it, he never had an answer for it and I haven’t been able to get a hold of him at all.
Something might have happened to him, I don’t know.

Is his name Donnie?....otherwise known as "Rocket"?
He used to be a member here and had machines in a barn.
He's hard to get a hold of.
If you do, tell him I said "Hi"  lol

No his name was John and he lived in the Monroe, MI area.
Don’t remember his last name.
It’s about a 1 hour drive for me, so it’s not like I can pop over easily to see him.

Oh okay... lol
RayV,
If this swapping of the memory sticks from a single 4GB stick to a pair of 2GB's works, you MUST take a photo of the exact make and model number of them.
This WILL help other AVP owners in the future.

To prove to yourself and verify, all you need to do is throw that single 4GB stick back in and watch the bloody thing reboot.... haha

While on the topic of RAM, what are the exact specs of the RAM that needs to be installed?

Thanks,

I put new thermal paste on the CPU heat sink...

The Northbridge chip temperatures were borderline at 42 degrees Celsius.
Has it gone down significantly?

42c is cool as a cucumber.  The Northbridge chip maximum safe operating temperature is 115c according to Gigabyte corp a manufacturer of computer motherboards.

The 4GB memory stick was the culprit.
I got up early this morning and it was still running without a reboot error.
Thanks to everyone for all the advice.
Happy as hell but I wish I could have found the problem sooner, it would have saved me a lot of aggravation.
