warcraft 3 problem

im not sure if anyone is gonna be able to help me with this question but ill try:

ill be playing a game on warcraft 3 and all of a sudden the pc will just reboot after 30 min or so..this gets really frustrating considering this doesnt happen on any other games (even gta3) and considering i just built my computer...does any one have any solutions?? i dont think anything is overheating where it would restart the computer...

256 meg ram
windows XP
blah blah blah

Don't think it is not overheating. Check.

Did you try changing any other configs? Try it with different video mode or with lower details... Sometimes it might not be your hardware..
Also try reinstalling like dave said.

I used to have the same problem. Try replacing the memory. I tried replacing the memory, but that wasn't the solution. So I kept trying stuff, and it turned out that my sound card wasn't fully compatable with windows XP, so I went back down to win 98 se and everything is running like a beauty.
Try updating ALL Of your drivers.
