Rebooting System

Hi, I´ve got a brand new computer that I built myself.
I have a Motherboard Shuttle AK35GT2, Athlon 1900 XP,
512 DDR PC2700 Kingston, Chaintech GeForce 4 Ti4200 128mb
w/ VIVO, Maxtor 80GB D740X 6L, Cooler Volcano 7, and a PSW
of 400w. My system reboot after 2 min after start playing
a game like Medal Of Honor, NFL Bliz 2000, and sametimes
even playing a DivX movie. Can anyone tell me what is happening?
Thank you in advanced.

Are you running WIndows XP? What are your memory settings? I've heard of numerous accounts where the memory settings were set too agressively for the system to handle error free. Windows XP has a default setting that automatically reboots the computer if it detects a bad enough error. I'm not in front of my XP machine, so I can't tell you exactly how to get to it, but I remember its in the control panel>system menus. Changing this won't fix the crashes, but it will give you an error dialogue before it reboots. This way you can start to troubleshoot the problem.

Is there a synonym for thesaurus?

look in my computer|properties|advanced|start up and recovery, uncheck automaticaly reboot. now see if it is actually rebooting or just blue screening.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal

I unchecked automaticaly reboot and I got a blue screen
just once trying to run SandraSoft while doing a bunch of
stuff. At the games I still get my compute to reboot.
I'll check the irq setting.
Thank you

how do you know its an irq problem? what is the error on the blue screen?

Check BIOS settings....Video caching/shadowing.....tweak around in the BIOS.
