PC crashing durning games

[jagzc]

Every time I play games on the my pc ( home built)
it crashes after about 20 or so mins ( blue screen) then it boot back up fine. This only happen during games.(this only happen on some games)
I tried the latest driver but that caused more crashed to a rolled back to the drive that came with the card ( it’s a limited Ed card so I’m guessing driver can be funny)
I have just update the bios last night so i didn’t get a chance to try it out yet but i guess it will happen again.
Also i looked at the temps of my CPU and others and they all fine.


Intel Q6600 (stock)
Asus P5Q
OZC 4gb PC8500
XFX GF 8800TGS Fatal1ty
600w ATX.2 SLI

What does the blue screen say? Does it mention nv4_disp.dll by any chance?

Classic symptoms of an inadequate power supply. A video card pulls about twice as much power under a 3d (gaming)load. What brand of PSU do you have?

its a jeantech brand.

Also keep an eye on your vidoe card temps. (try downloading rivatuner)

I'd guess its your drivers. What verison of nvidia's drivers are you updating to? What are some of the games your playing?

Your PSU could be the problem. That's a very questionable psu brand and not something I'd want powering my rig.
