Well, my system is around a year old and as far as performance goes i can't fault it. However i had to get a new graphics card a month ago because my mum turned off the power at the wall while the system was on and unwittingly fried the old graphics card as well as corrupting all the data on my hard drive.

Since then the system has made a habait of restarting itself when i try to a Warcraft III game from the desktop, or play a Media file. Oddly, the thing with the game (as its only that one game) happens about a third of every time i try to tab into it from desktop, and the media file restart seems to happen once every 50 times or so. Is this a hardware problem? Can it be fixed?
