I have a ATI Radeon X Pro 1600 AGP 512mb video card I got several days ago. Every game I run my computer randomly restarts itself after 3 mins - an hour of playing time. I'm currently updating my direct x and I have all the lastest drivers for my card. I called ATI's tech support and I was told to update my agp controller's driver (Intel 82865g), which I could only find one from as early as 2003. There is another driver from intel I could get from 2005, but apparently when I downloaded and ran the installation it says its missing a file and cannot complete installation. Still, with the agp update, it still restarts after an hour of play.
So....
1) Does anyone know where I can get that driver with all the files in the installation? (if anyone thinks that happends to be the problem)
2) Does the power supply have anything to do with it? Does anyone think theres not enough power getting to the card?
3) I don't think this is the problem, but would heating be an issue? I would think it would shut off instead of restart if it was over heating.
System Specs:
P4 3.0ghz (hyperthreading)
Asus MoBo
2 gigs of ram
430w powersupply
ATI Radeon X Pro 1600 AGP 512mb
