gigabyte 81945P-G motherboard
seagate 320gb hd
intel pentium 4-3.06 Ghz
sharkoon 350w PSU
OCZ 1024 ddr2
Saphire radeon X1600 pro 256mb graphics card

its probobly your power supply, jsut post the amps that are locaed on the sircker

did it come with your case?

Try a new powersupply from a different system(maybe your old one, unless this is just a new one, not a replacement) perhaps a 400w? And do get a generic one, not a crappy one.

now please tell everyone that helps you "Thank You"

...AMD

its a brand new PSU,but ill try a different one an let you know how it flies,Cheers.

thats a good idea because 350 watts is low for a newer system like that, go for atlest 450 watts of BRAND name psu, brands like Antec, entermax,

use that to coulate power
