I have a weird problem with my computer (specs in sig).
Sometimes when I'm playing Counter-Strike: Source, I need to minimize to manage my downloads, respond to an instant message or something. So I push ctrl+esc and minimize CS:S. Then when I go to maximize my Limewire window, my computer crashes. It automatically reboots. This shouldn't be happening.
I have two theories as to why it's happening:
1. Not enough power. My 350w Enermax can't provide enough energy and the computer fails to open a new program, which *maybe?* requires more current dedication to the ram or cpu?
2. A part is overheating, like the CPU demanding a system reboot.
Can anyone clarify one of those reasons, or suggest a different one which they think is the case? I have just ran Adaware, Spybot, HijackThis and Norton, so I am virus and spyware free. I'm running Omega 66.93 drivers, and the rest of my chipset/motherboard drivers are all up to date.
