i bought a pc from TIME (www.thecomputershop.co.uk)
my specs are AMD64 3200+ @ 2000 mhz wid 1mb cache
512 mb ddr pc 2700
160gb segate barracuda hard drive
4x dvd re-writer +and -
ATI all in wonder radeon 9200 256 mb
ive never opened up this pc and ive never overclocked or even tried. its never been upgraded. i bought the pc on december 17th 2003
for a while now it happens rarely. my pc just keeps rebooting for no reason and nothing gets saved. this happens especially when i play gta vice city (retail version) but has happened in other cases aswell. today i just logged in and it restarted again but this time i logged in it says "your system has recovered from a serious error" HELP!!!!

what kind of PSU do you have? Is your system well cooled?

since you bought a complete pc i would call up the shop and ask for their opionion ..

make sure this is happening in more than just one application, so it's not the apps fault
