Hi,
My copmuter keeps on crashin into a black screen or just reboots after i play a 3d game like Halo, Warcraft 3, and Max Payne 2, It keeps crashing in 3dmark2001 and in 3dmark2003. It only crashed like once though in 3dmark 2003 and it crashes like almost every single time in 3dmark 2001. I Updated everything (BIOS, WINDOWS, NVIDA DRIVERS[53.03], VIA4in1). When i open my computers side panel and clean it with Dust Remover Blow Can out it works well for a like an hour then the whole thing all over again. I though it was the Cooling or soem thing but i get temps around 40*C (Mobo Temp) all the time. I also took out the PCI slot blocker thingy right under my graphix card to get more air in to circulate when the fans are turing inside. In 3 days i am going to upgrade to a E-VGA Geforce 5900 SE. I dont want these problems sparking up with that.
