While playing HL2 or CS:S (only games I currently play on PC), my computer just randomly restarts. So, I have:
AXP-M @ 2.3GHz 1.6V
Dual channel 1GB PC3200 @ 2.9V
6800 Ultra at 475/1200
One CD-RW and HDD
4 Case Fans
and to top it off -- A generic 300W PSU
Im thinking its a PSU problem. My processor, RAM, and Video Card are stable, I was pretty sure according to Prime95, memtest, 3dmark03, respectively.
So, I bring the CPU down to 2200MHz and the video card back down to 400MHz (stock), and I am still getting the reboots. This tells me that the parts were stable, it is something else. The only difference between overclocked and not overclocked was that the reboots overclocked happened a lot sooner than the reboots at stock settings. Again, Im thinking it is a PSU problem, but what do yall think it is?
