my system:

asus a7v266
512 ram (2x256 different brands that sucks :( )
athlon 1.2
2 HDD
1 cd-rom , 1 cd-rec
live 5.1
gainward gf4 Ti4200
1 usb scanner
ps2 mouse & keyboard
300W PSU
winxp pro

the problem:

after getting the new card my system keeps restarting randomly, that usually happens when left idle for a long time and trying to do some action again(open a program for ex.)
i read in another thread about the system recovery settings and uncheck autorestart, that caused my system to freeze completely!! could it be the psu?? or maybe some bios settings i have no idea plz kind ppl help me!!! :(((((
 
Does sound like the PSU.

Check the rated watts on the side of it.
the 3.3v line should be.....30
and atleast the same for the 5v rail.

Good Luck

:cool:
