Random Restarting?

**vroom_skies** · 01-02-2007, 11:43 PM

Well he told us the temp of the cpu, not the gpu. To me it almost sounds like your card is throttling, but you should see artifacting before it would restart.

It also could be your psu, what are the specs of your psu? Amps on 12v rail?

Also I take it your haven't changed any hardware? And it wouldn't hurt you to run memtest.

Hope that helps

I don't see how its the HDD becasue it only happens during games, I hasn't done it recently though... It isn't allways that it happens.

I don't know what the specs of my PSU are... it came with my case, it's 400W... Thats all I know about it.

well i had that problem with my old pc, and i fixed by simple doing the following.

Going to device manager

and switching the agp to cpu bridge to standard pci to pci,

this is done by selecting update driver and then selecting i will choose the

driver and then selecting standard pci to pci.
