Hello,

So my Wii has this wierd issue that whenever I boot it up.
It will boot but after a while it will Auto-Reset.
Once it has Reset, the unit will reset again after X-time.

These intvervals become shorter and shorter untill after a while the Wii just keeps resetting whenever PM has booted.

Booting directly in to Postloader or PriiLoader (Whichever) works by holding down reset. The Unit will stay on here and won't Reset.

Any help is Welcome. It's my 3rd Wii and it's driving me nuts.
Not to mention the cost of Wii's here (Last one I Bought cost me €80,- ($93,-)

Thanks in Advance

Your reset wire may be catching interference. Try desoldering the wire from the reset line and see if that fixes the issue

The reset wire was added later on recommendation of Mr.Pizza to see if that worked.
The problem was persistent beforehand.

I switched over to a different Wii. It again resetted on it’s own.

With the help of @BocuD we were able to determine that it might have been because of low voltages.
3.2v, 1.03v and 0.912v was what I was getting from my regulators under load.
Bumping them up gave me better overall results.

I hope the old board accepts these voltages as well.
