New computer restarting randomly

Hi last night I put together a new AMD 64 3200+ w/ an x800XL. It runs amazing with great benchmarks and performance in HL2, WoW, and the like.

I've run into 1 issue. Once while I was just on AIM and once when I was about 15 minutes into Half Life 2 my computer flashed a blue screen very quickly (it had alot of information on it but it was too fast to read any of it) and then restarted.

My first thought was overheating but I have 2 rear case fans, a side case fan, and one time I was just using AIM :laugh:. Also I experienced no performance issues before the restart so I don't feel like it's overheating (not to mention in my past overheating experiences the computer just shuts down, no restart).

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help!
 
Are you overclocking at all? If so step it back see if you still experience it. I would also make sure you are running the latest drivers for your video card and chipset.
