Ok, here is the problem:

My new Radeon 9000 is rebooting my system while playing games. (Earth&Beyond, Nightfire, Aquanox). The TI4400 I had did the same thing and some said it was the power draw on the AGP slot and to get another PSU. Well, I got tired of trying to figure it out and sold the card. Well I got the Radeon and now it is doing it. I have read the instructions on the Asus website and they don't make me comfortable with flashing. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated. The only thing that really worries me is that this will either A)mess up my system or B)not help the situation. But I need to try something :eek:/

Do not post troubleshooting questions here

True, a bad flash could ruin your motherboard, but it isn't that difficult. Just make sure you get the right .bin for the ROM and you should be ok. Stupid question, but have you actually tried replacing your PSU yet?

No, I have not replaced it. It is a 300w Antec PSU that never crashed with the voodoo AND does with newer video cards so not sure how you would take that.
