Hi, I've recently installed a new graphics card(upgrading my Radeon x1300 to a HD4670).
Since then I seem to be getting random restarts when I run games or try to run DVD's. They start up ok, sometimes running for between a minute and a few hours and then I just get a restart. Never any bluescreen though. I wondered if it might be an inadequate PSU but I've heard other people with similar setups don't have any problems.
I installed the latest drivers yesterday(recent update), but that hasn't solved it. It could possibly be over-heating but I have been running it with the side off for the last week or two and it still restarted(although possibly not as often).
I've also ruled out the DVD drive as some games are run from the HD.
Any thoughts at all? Known system specs below:
OS - Vista 32 bit home premium.
AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5600+ 2.8ghz
4GB ram
2 sata 160gb HD's
HD4670
Dell PSU 305w
Has a pretty basic soundcard.
Don't know the motherboard though.
