Is this a heating problem?

Well, my PC began resetting by itself, when I either play a game, or do something on Macromedia Flash MX... I am guessing, it's about the heating but I can't give any meaning to it. I have 3 fans in my case, in addition to heatsink, power supply fan, 2 harddisk coolers, and one expansion slot fan cooling the whole motherboard... what's wrong here?

Btw, it gives an error like this during boot up:

"Secondary IDE Channel 88 No conducter cable installed"?

Goofy?
 
i don't think it's the heating. i don't know about your error, but i do know a lot of restarting problems are cause your power supply can't pump out enough power. so during intensive stuff it'll restart or do something weird
 
well my power supply is 500 watts ? isn't that enough for a p4 2.44b, with 1 gig ddr ram and ati radeon 9500 pro?
 
Depends if it is a quality PSU.. That wattage on the box tells nothing. Check what amps are supplied to each voltage in the specs.
