every time i try to launch a 3d app, my computer restarts.


are my spec:

e6300 (stock)
2gb OCZ ram
MSi975x
x1900xt 512
PC Power 510W
NEC 3550
Seagate 7200.10 320gb
 
Does it restart right away or after a couple of minutes? Do you get an error message after the restart? How are your temps and are you overclocking? Did this just start all of a sudden or was there any change in your system when the problem first started happening?

My first thought is to try reinstalling video drivers, but I'm honestly not sure at this point.
 
it restarts as s as i click on a .exe (about 5 second after)

No error message, just a reboot

No over clocking is being done.

Temps are good as I have an arctic freezer installed.

I just re-install XP and it happened the first time I tried to run an .exe
 
This could be a power supply problem. Launching a 3D app causes your video card to ramp up and draw more power from the power supply. If the power supply can't meet the demand, it will momentarily interrupt the power, which the motherboard may interpret as a power failure.

AV software sucks and only make your computer run slower. Uninstall Kaspersky, keep away from porn and you should be fine.
