I have recently installed Vampire bloodlines on my PC. I am able to get to the initial screen to start a new game but when it goes to load the first level the computer reboots. I have a 300W PSU / GF4 Ti4200 / maxtor 7200 HDD.. I have recently replaced the PSU, installed the updated drivers for teh nvidia card, ensured directx at 9.0c.. still having the trouble there are no errors messages that appear prior to reboot or anything.. The system just simply reboots and reloads XP without error. Any Ideas?

Summary: "6200 256MB AGP is not a good card to begin with, so I suggest you buy at least 6600gt AGP or 7600gs AGP for better performance if you can return that 6200 AGP." but thats not the reason it causes the...
