Hey,
I have a pc i've had for about a year or two. I've never really had any trouble with the pc, i play counter-strike and other older games quite often. Recently i purchased and installed Final Fantasy XI (an online rpg game) and i've run into some issues. Randomly, while playing the game (it's happened about 3 times in the past 3 days) my computer screen goes black, and after about 5 seconds begins to boot up (as if i restarted it). from a quick google search i found that this problem may be because of some kind of power supply malfunction, so im posting it here.
i know next to nothing about computer hardware, so any help is greatly appreciated.
i'll list the specs of my pc real quick:
pentium4 cpu 2.4 ghz
256 mb RAM
NVidia Geforce4 MX 440 with AGP8x
im not sure what other specs to give or where to find them
so yeah, please help :X thanks!
Mike
