Okay, i've just upgraded my CPU, RAM and mobo.
After freshly installing vista
i only installed anti-virus, cod 4, and all the drivers.
While playing any game it just restarts after about 30 minutes.
I've disabled automatic restarts hoping i could get some info from the bs, but no blue screen - just restarts.
only rly during gaming, i can have it on all day fine and then open up a game and its gone.
I've stripped it down, checked the thermal paste, most of the temperatures are fine - prly not overheating.
All the other componants have been working together for six months, fine.
I though it might have been vista causing the problem so went back to xp but it still did it.
I can't be a virus because i've not touched the internet (apart from updates) from a new os.
As i had a low quality PSU i replaced it with a 550w antec trio, which is powering a 1 hdd, quad core, 3 fans, and an 8800 so underpowering and faulty PSU are out tbh.
I've done a memory test - all seccessful.
I tryed a full system reliability test and it blue screened - couldn't see what it said.
Also theres a lot of freezing and hanging just opening cp or my network.
Please can anyone help?
Cheers.
