Everytime i play Doom 3, my APC UPS alarm will go off as long as i
playing the game. This has been happening since upgraded to a 3.4GHz
Prescott from a Northwood 3.06GHz Proc.
Windows XP Pro SP2, Pentium 3.4GHz Prescott, 1Gb RAM Crucial, onboard
sound, ADS Firewire card, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 4.10 Cats, Maxtor HDD,
Pioneer Dvr-A03 DVD-RW, Samsung SM-352 DVD Combo and Enermax 550 Watt PSU.

This is bizarre,

System is heating up...try some more cooling, check also cpu temp during
doom3 play and system temps..

if all good then sp2 may have caused this so maybe a reinstall of the os...

Cheers
