ecently I have the following problem with my comp.
Whenever I try to play a game, or run a graphiv benchmark, my entire comp either freezes, or restarts and freezes
even before getting through POST.
If I let it rest for an hour it works fine again, even though no components get even near being warm.
First I thought it was because I overclocked the video and mainboard, but it still happens after setting everything
back to defaults.
I just bought a new videocard as well, thinking that was the problem since it only happens when I try to do some
graphic-intense things, but with the new card the same happens...
Specs:
MSI K7T pro 1st version,
AMD Duron 800@840, later @800
TNT 2 MX, later replaced with a Asus V7100

Yes, Power is 300 Watt...
I heard on another board that Vcore should be upped to 1.85, so that's what I'm going to try next..
Funny thnig though is that it has worked stable and OC'ed for three months... and all of a sudden.. bang
Thanks so far all..
