As of recently i have been unable to play any games due to system crashes and im not sure why. Within the first few minutes of gameplay on anything (UT2k3, hitman2 and W3) i will get an "out of scan range" appear on my monitor and the system will just reboot. I have run tests on both the memory and processor and both passed with ease. The only thing that i can think of left is the PSU and the video card. i still have a 300W PSU which could stand to be upgraded, but i hope that its more likely a problem with ATI"S DRIVERS!!!! The original installation drivers on the cd seem to perform better than the newest drivers available on ATI's website. However, with either driver, on graphically intensive programs like games "out of scan range" pops up and my system will restart. im not sure if these anonymous reboots are the cause of damage to my last hard drive which is in the mail to be repaired or not, but i dont want to damage my new drive. my sys specs are listed below in the signature so if anyone knows whats up and could help me out i would greatly appreciate it.
Video Card: AIW Radeon 8500 (128)

OH.....for those of you that noticed the overclocked 1800+ to 2000+........ive tried reseting the overclocking and get the same errors as well. Temperatures remain stable as well never exceeding about 47C - 49C.
