Random Restarts

[mindwave_21]

Hmmmm...Don't answer this thread. I'll move it to games.


Hi all! I've recently been having a little trouble with my first build. When I installed xp and linux, everything seemed to work fine. However, when I started playing games in xp, my computer occasionally decides to restart. After I start in windows again, xp says something about a fatal system error (I'm assuming the blue screen of death). The first time it happened, I was playing Deus Ex, and it then happened twice during Warcraft 3. After some searching, I found the system setting to restart after critical/fatal error (i forget which it's called). So, after all this yapping, what's going on? Is it just the way xp is, or is it the games (I haven't d/l'ed any patches for either.) Thanks in advance.

System specs:
Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra mobo
Athlon xp 2200+ (running at about 36-40 dgrees C, according to Bios)
mushkin pc 2700 Ram (512 mb)
Geforce 4 Ti4200 with latest beta driver
SB audigy
WD 80 gig SE hard drive
Lite-on burner
Pioneer DVD
