Hello
Whenever I play quite a new game (such as Far Cry or Deus Ex 2 but also Fifa 2004) it my randomly crash to the desktop. Sometimes, I even have to reboot the PC. I have Service Pack 1a installed and I patched all my games. I have DirectX9b installed as well, and at the moment I'm reinstalling it (you never know). I don't have any problems with older games who run on DirectX8 or less.
My videocard is a Radeon 9800 with latest Catalyst 4.4 drivers installed. Older drivers do not help solve the problem. Can anyone think of a possible solution for me ?
Thanks in advance
Indy

What are your power supply specs? Total wattage & number of amps on the +12v rail?
