power problem?

[jadbox1]

i have a 2800xp+ with 1 gb ram and a 6600gt
ecs nforce2 mb and a 300watt ps

well it has been working fine for the first few months but now my comp restarts when playing games

could it be the ps? it did work well for the first few months?

thanks for any help

What kind of a psu is it? A good 300w psu should run that rig with no sweat. A generic 300w could probably run that rig without a problem either.

the ps came with the case
the case and ps was only $20 so its pretty cheap im sure

I'm having almost the same problem except my rig shuts down completely...I think my AIW X800 is overheating, so I ordered a new GPU cooler.- this MIGHT be what's going on in your case as well.

Just to be safe, I've also ordered a new PSU and Processor cooler...can't play any games until they get here and although they are here in town, I can't get them 'til Monday because they came in to the airport Fed-exed this morning....bums....
