Ok, For the game TOCA RACE DRIVE 2, if I whenever I load the game to start a race, the PC will crash + reboot. HOWEVER, If i set the process (RD2.EXE) to HIGH PRIORITY, the PC will NOT CRASH. Can someone please diagnose the problem of computer for me? I just got this computer brand new 2 days ago, all drivers updated + BIOS etc. Before I contact the store, I would like to know the root of the problem. Could it be the power supply (350W) or...?

PC SPECS: WIN XP SP2, ASUS P5AD2 Mobo, P4 3.0GHZ 775, 2x512 DDR2 Kingston Ram, MSI GEFORCE 6600GT 128MB Video Card, Enermax case with 350W power Supply.

Help would be definitely appreciated thx!!

Is that an older game? It might be fighting with SP2.

No, Toca Race Driver 2 is a VERY NEW GAME came out in 2003/2004 I believe. The game has amazing physics and when you play you actually "feel" the weight of the car. It's really realistic.

Anyways...

If you know the root of my problem (Read in the first post UP) Please help!!! TY!!!

FYI, your 6600GT draws almost all its power from the 12v rail. What is the spec of your PSU and specifically the amp distribution on that rail.

I really know nothing about power supplies, but this picture shows the information sticker on my PSU from Enermax. Sabertooth, do you think this is sufficient for my System (specs listed in first post)?

As well.. my SYSTEM INFORMATION has stopped working, it is blank and won't refresh any information :|..

Btw, when my computer crashes, the Blue Screen shows IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.. Maybe this will help in solving my issue?
