Random reboots

[quizzelsnatch]

Whenever i'm playing albatross18 or occasionally with windows media player my computer will just randomly shut down and start back up. the screen goes black, no warning or anything. i don't even know where to begin looking for the problem, I tried reinstalling windows and that didn't work, i've looked through the windows error logs and that hasn't shown up anything that i can see as being the problem. anybody have any suggestions on what to look for? thanks.

check the power output of your PSU, and the amps on the 12 volt rail.
Sounds like a power issue.
Also make sure you are plugged into a steady power supply (ie. not sharing with too many other things).
IF that doesn't work, make sure your drivers are playing nice- I've heard some bad things about creative's drivers and ATI/Nvidia video drivers.
