Regarding reboot loops...

Alright, in an eggshell, my comp goes into a reboot loop after playing a lot of CS:S. I posted this a while back, and we came to the conclusion that my video card was overheating, which was believeable because my 6800U is currently on a 6800GT cooler (don't ask).

My watercooling doesn't come till tomorrow, but in the meantime my cousin was here and has been playing a lot of Sims 2. She plays it a LOT, and sometimes leaves it on and paused for extended amounts of time. But the comp is fine, so I'm beginning to think it might not be the card overheating? I kind of speculated that maybe it had something to do with my wireless network card I use to connect to the internet (when my comp went into reboot loops, at first it wouldn't reboot until I loaded up FF, then it just started rebooting when it hit Windows).

Does this seem like a possible suspect?

I use a D-Link wireless adapter on my MSI K8N Neo2 Plat in the fifth, orange PCI slot.

Do a Windows repair, that might fix the problem.

It could also be your power supply. I had the same problem and discovered I had a bad power supply.

I hope it isn't. I've got a nice Enermax WhisperII 460w PSU, it better not be dead.

First I'll install the watercooling on the video card, if that doesn't do it then I'll repair.
