Hello, This is my first post so excuse me for the long post but I've to write from start.I've a old desktop system (2007) which I recently get repaired for display and restarting problem. now the problem is whenever I start any game like 40-50mb game it goes black and then restarts. Any other operation is working fine. I read another post about the same problem so I replace CMOS battery after that I manage to play game for sometime like 1-2 hrs but next day it just run 2-3 min then restarts. with old battery game couldn't even load fully . I was trying it on rise of nation and some small game like desert hawk etc. in past I have played some good game of that time on same config just changed PSU some time ago. I've played games like prince of percia ww, farcry,gta san andreas etc.

specs:
core2 duo 1.8Ghz
intel d9455ccr
seagate 80gb
512 mb ram ddr2
windows xp

First, you need more RAM 512 is not enough to run Windows XP well much less load games on.

2 gig at least.

Did you re-install Windows?

With that system, anything could be an issue, RAM, motherboard, video card, power supply. I hope you did not pay to get it fixed, for $100 or sometimes less you can get a full new faster system likely with Windows 7 and 2 gig of RAM.
