I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so here it goes.

I'm having issues with my newly built-from-scratch PC
(I am not new to this, this is the 3rd PC i've built from scratch).
When I install a game, ANY game(Company of Heroes, Crysis, Call of Duty 4). It won't
play it. I double click on its shortcut icon and it goes to a black screen and my PC reboots.
Everything else works great(Internet, TS, Video Editors) except for the reason I got this new machine...TO PLAY GAMES.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Any Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

System Specs
CPU: Q9300 Quad Core 2.5Ghz
Mobo: ASUS P5Q Pro
RAM: GSkill 2x2gb (4GB)
PSU: Antec 650 Watt
GPU: ATI HD 4850
OS: Win XP
Drive: 20X ASUS Light Scribe

Did you increase RAM voltage? What temps are you getting?

Yup i Did. G-Skill RAM I got. Requires Voltage of 2.0-2.1 I set it to 2.0 did a test. Same Issues. Then I set it to 2.1. Same Issue. This is confusing me. I'm calling ASUS tech support on monday and see how that works out.
