PC reset itself.

Whilst playing overlord after about 10 minutes my computer reset itself. Any ideas ?

Unless game really did get a bug and Windows reset as of the setting "Restart On All Errors" it could be down to heat or volts issue from PSU, are you overclocked ?

I am overclocked, ive turned the memory FSB down a notch and it seems to be fine atm. Ill see how it goes.

Well if thats sorts it, either stay at that setting or go back to the previous OC setting but up CPU or RAM volts.

Hmm that didnt sort it out. I wonder would it be my GFX card getting to hot. Just after being under load its running at arround 59 ! Is that right ?!

Hard to tell cause they cool very fast after you close a game, you could try !Control/alt/del whiel in a game to see temps, or run Rivatuner and do real time recording of temps, then after you close game go and drag pointer back over timeline to see MAX temps.

Unlikely to be GFX - I think all modern ATI and nVidia cards will be automatically throttled back if they hit too high a temp, and the driver will whinge at you.

I reckon your CPU/mem is unstable.

Isn't there another thread on here where you've been overclocking the CPU/RAM? Don't suppose you've done any proper stability testing? Sounds like it's not stable at whatever clocks you've got it at.

Yer i think that might be my problem. Im reducing my clock now to try and regain stability.
