p4 2.0 @ 1.97
msi geforcefx5600 o/c to 375/647
dimm 4400 a6 motherboard from intel 4x agp
my comp. always reboot for games like nba live 2003 , nhl 2004, ghostrecon, morrowind, nfs porshe unleashed, but not mohaa, or max payne. Why does my computer do this? And not w/ the other games......i just put in a new power supply cuz my other one was a 250 w. my vid card before was a gf2mx400 and all the games worked....jst went slow... Someone please HELP???
