Games restarting computer
when I installed Baldur's gate 2 and played it, it would restart my computer about.. every 15-30 minutes or so. The cd rom would just flash and my computer would restart all of a sudden.
Now that I installed vampire the masquerade, I started playing it but a minute in, the computer would restart itself.. so it's not just baldur's gate..
Why is this?

i think you may need a new power supply i had same problem the same time i bought plane scape torment a while back.
put your hand behind your psu fan eg behind top part of pc case (assuming your case is a tower one) and see if you feel any air getting sucked in and if you dont feel a decent amount getting sucked in by your psu fan thats the problem. your pc will probly be shutting down due to psu fan failure so the psu heats up to much and bamm it shuts down.
am i right in thinking your pc wont let you turn it back on as soon as it shuts down? if so its your psu

um.. it's Winter here and it was early in the morning that I played it. I'm not saying it does that for all games, so far just baldur's gate and vampire the masquerade. It's not overheating, just sometimes it seems like the computer restarts.. nothing else other than restarting. Planescape Torment worked fine for me, so does other games, my graphics card isn't dusty.
So any other ideas?

I had this problem on my old computer running Age of Empires 2. Once I got into a heavy battle and full system resources were needed, the computer simply restarted. My computer was barely capable of running the game, so I figure it just had more than it could handle and pooped out.

My OS is Windows 98. My computer meets the system requirements of the games, especially baldur's gate 2 which was ages ago. I get blue screen errors lots of times, doesn't restart my computer.
