What could cause my PC to reboot all the time? It doesn't reboot with this cheap card I put in. It didn't reboot with the Radeon and Win 98SE, but it does with XP and the radeon card.

Might the Radeon coupled with the XP O/S cause the CPU to work harder creating more heat? Last I saw it ran at 122F. Or XP and Radeon using more power than my 350 watt PSU can supply?

Just guessing in the dark. :confused:

Please got to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery. Uncheck "Automatically Restart" and set Memory Dump to None. The next time there's a crash, you'll get an error message. If no message, it's likely the PSU.

Thanks, again, BIll. I do not have the card installed at this time. Had to remove it and install a basic vid card, just to run problem free. I will try this as soon as I reinstall the Radeon and post back with results.
