My guess would be overheating Video card or CPU

Anyway to track the heat when the damn thing reboots while in a game for like 20 min?

I know my cpu is running cool while benchmarking during torture tests.

I should add that 120mm fan on the front of my case again too.

overheating videocard or PSU.

try gaming with the case open, if reboots then fortron 450 may be the culprit.

Now that's a start....Here's my recommendation:

Try download this program known as rthdribl

http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/rthdribl/

It's a sweet program (great looking too) and it will PUSH your card to its limits in terms of heat. Let see if your system could last around 30 mins without any hiccups. The great thing about this program too is that it's a fairly small file and it does not require a whole screen to be playable.

So just try it out and open up and watch your temperatures slowly as it creeps up pretty high.

As PhoenixOrion said..it could be your PSU but "we" don't know. Might as well get a program that monitors your power too while @ load

do you overclock?

Stock speeds right now but I'm trying to go perfectly stable before I start to OC

I ordered 3x yate loon 120's and some supplies to clean my cabling up.

I will report back after the improvements.

Also don't you guys think stock x1800xt should cool the damn thing enough to keep up w/ gaming?
