I'm not sure when this started happening but it was after I installed some new ram and a new psu. I have only been able to reproduce it consistantly with one game which is halo online. Every other game seems to be random. What happens is, Im just playing a game and suddenly, the screen goes black and restarts the computer. I have tested my ram, no errors on memtest. tested my cpu, no errors. stressed the psu, didnt restart. I dont know what causes it. the only game that does it everytime is Halo Online. Here is what Event Viewer says.

No the WiFi is a separate card. I bought a new one yesterday although it was happening before that.

God dang I accidently chose that ad the answer, but yes I do have a spare stick of ram, but once again I do have doubts that's the problem, memtest showed nor errors.

Damn, oh well. Makes sense though, amd matx fx motherboards are really sketchy with those old chipsets, really wish it lasted longer though. Shame. Also what would happen if I kept using the computer like this? Would I risk frying my Gpu or anything
