Major Problem

AdaMmaN · 28 Jun 2007 at 02:22

Hey guys,

I have somewhat of a weird problem and I don’t know what to do…

Whenever I try and play an online game such as Battlefield 2, or just in general whilst watching a video on the computer, a big thick red line comes up at the top of the desktop or top of the game out the blue, and as soon as I see the red line, my computer restarts itself… it is occurring quiet frequent now, and ive had enough of the bloody thing.
It used to be fine but recently its been acting like this all the time, and I cant seem to think what ive done to cause it if anything.

Ive tried these possible solutions...
.System Restore
.Updated Drivers ATI... (I have the latest)
.Cleaned the hardware components inside the case from dust etc.
.Reinstalled my game etc

They don’t seem to work… it is still occurring…
I have Norton 07, ad aware, reg mech etc. no game is blocked on there

My computer specs are the following
Pentium 4 3.4 GHz HT
360 GB hdd
2068 (2GB) Ram DDR2
ATI Radeon x600 PCI 256mb

The thing is it’s been great until recently, and I haven’t got the foggiest what to do now…
Any solutions or help would be appreciated.

Regards
Adam
