Reply: (edit)Usually reboots in games can be linked to heat-related issues, or even a starving PSU. Check your temperatures in the BIOS or with whatever tools come with your motherboard. Check the ForceWare window via the desktop to check your GPU temps (not sure if the 5200 has thermometers). Also, you could try looking at your CPU HSF. If it looks dusty, and I mean coated with dust, take it off and give it a good cleaning as well as a new coat of thermal compound. Make sure you have plenty of case ventilation as well. A good test is to take the side off the computer tower and have a fan blowing in it (not too hard) and see if games reboot. If they don't while you're doing this, then temperature is your issue here. I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.

Reply: (edit)"elders scrool oblivion ( the new 1 ). " I don't think your PC will run oblivion nicely with that spec you have.... When your PC reboots, did you check the CPU temperature when it does that? It could be like >65C where the processor become unstable. So what you can do is when the PC reboot, go into the BIOS and check the CPU temperature.. Secondly, have the latest driver update for your video card, mobo chipset and others to ensure that software/driver is not the issue... TMP-ManAsus P5P800-SE
