Computer shuts down in games

Vriess · 05-18-2005, 02:42 PM

Been having this problem on and off lately. Computer will lose power in games and will not restart unless I disconnect the power cable from the back and reconnect it. If I reconnect the cable and start it up immediately it will lose power in the game even quicker. Sometimes it doesnt happen at all. Thinking it might be the power supply.

I have a abit nf7 motherboard, xp 3200, BFG 6800 vanilla, Turbolink LCA350ATX power supply. a gig of mushkin 3200.
