    Default Can anyone tell me what wrong with my hardware?

    Hi all, need some advice. I am currently using this hardware config,

    AMD XP1800
    VIA 8K3A DDR333
    ATI 9600XT.

    Seems like my systems keeps rebooting itself when I start to play games, why?

    Well there's nothing wrong with your hardware that would cause it to reboot, apart from being faulty - in which case you should return it to where it was purchased.

    Upgrade your drivers,

    VIA Chipset Drivers

    ATI Drivers

    Try unchecking VPU Recover in the ATI catalyst control panel.
    Also make sure the fan on your gfx card is clean.

    Or it could be bad RAM, try installing some fresh new RAM and see if that clears is up.
