When playing Halo, Battlefield 1942 or Unreal 2 the system would reset
itself, no BSOD, screen would go black and system would startup again.
Sometimes it would do this after 15 min and sometimes it would do it
after an hour. No alarms before reset.
Using MBM temps and voltages seem normal.
At idle cpu temp is about 35 C and at load around 50 C.
2 80 mm fans pulling out in addition to 2 fans in PS.
Thought it might be PS, switched to an Antec Smart Power 400 watt and
no difference.
Tried increasing voltage to cpu ,ram and AGP ,no change.
Timing on ram is 2.5 3 3 7 (setup default)
Latest updates for software installed.
TIA
