He says the thing crashes the whole system shuts off while playing games or I would assume when its under load. Browsing the net/word processing is fine. He plays games like Crysis, Left for Dead, and Empire Total War. Any ideas? Is everything compatible? Is the power supply to weak? Maybe the ram is incompatible? The board detects everything just fine. I'm kind of at a loss. We need to resolve this issue fast, we are going to a friends house for a LAN party this weeks. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
