Hello,

I have just upgraded my AGP graphics card from a 5200fx to a 6600GT and was playing Battlefield 2 fine for approx 2 hours and my PC reset, went back into Batlefield 2 and played fine for another 20mins and reset again, is this the PSU thats casuing the problem or is it a faulty grahics card?? I have 2 HDD's, 2 CD/DVD drives, 3 fans, 1 LED light plus the 6600GT running off a 400Watt PSU, so was thinking its the PSU. Please help!
