well i was installing diablo 2 today and my computer restarted during the installation, so i tried again and it restarted again, finally i got d2 installed, and after about 45mins my comp restarted so i uninstalled d2 and it has been doin it since, im thinking it could be my psu cause its just the 1 that came with my case,

any help would be great
 
Without knowing anything about your pc, its impossible to tell what your problem is!!!!!
 
well my specs are

usicase standard atx case black
usicase 400w psu
amd athlon 3200+ cpu
512mb ram
foxconn winfast NF4K8MC mobo
Powercolor Radeon X1600XT bravo edition
WD 120gb HDD

is that better?
 
Get speedfan from the downloads section and use it to monitor temperatures and voltages!!!!!
 
whatsit say on the PSU info label? Voltage/Amps etc.. maybe the PSU doesn't have enough juice to run your video card...

Boot into safe mode and see if its stable. If it is:
-Look for any drivers you may need to update
-disable all the startup programs by going into msconfig > Diagnostic boot then see if normal windows is stable.

run ccleaner and see if it helps things along..
 
thanks but i think it kinda got over the problem by itself cause its running fine now and iv been playing games like oblivion and stuff and it hasnt had any troubles
