System crashes randomly

[termosen]

My system is crashing randomly, especially in 3d aplications, but also under windows, in windvd and graphic demanding apps.
Spec:

Windows XP
Barton 2500+
Asus a7n8x
WD 20gb
WD 80gb
Twinmos 512mb 400mhz
Geforce 4 t4200 64

All with latest firmware, bios and drivers....
Its freaking me out.....................!!!!!!!!!

what do you mean by crashing? are you getting an error message you can exit out of. Or is the computer hardlocking?
im thinking that you may have a Heat issue. But it could also be a problem with the OS

 

[termosen]

it just reboots, without error messages, sometimes blue screen, but reboots immediatly

Mine also does this, but only when I use U160 SCSI and U160 drives.
My system is Iwill KT266R-Plus
Still cant figure out why. Everything works find with onboard IDE.

maybe its a driver issue? you have the latest bios and all that?

Could also be overheating - are you clocked out of spec? All your fans working? Hot day?

Did it work before, or is it a new system?

 

[gcy]

Could be you power supply.

It's not OC at all, its not the cooling, have several fans installed CPU temp 42 degrees C 107 Degrees F
My conclusion is that it could be the power supply, it's a noname 300w..

I jst riased the agp Voltage, lowered the memory to sync
disabled fast writes and agp 8X, seems better now..

but still, i want all the juice it can give, will have tp buy a new Power supply I guess

It's a completely new system, never worked allright
