Computer crashes while playing video games

Hello,

I play a number of video games, but only the graphically demanding ones seem to crash my computer. I bought a Geforce 9600 GT not too long ago, and i had the latest drivers for it when it started crashing. I continued to update the display drivers as they were released, but I still found myself with the same problem. Thinking it was my power supply, as the old one had a dismally low wattage rating, I picked up a 700 watt power supply. The minimum wattage requirement for the Geforce 9600 GT is 400 watts. As you may have guessed, my purchase was in vain.

Re: Computer crashes while playing video games

Question... does the computer restart or shut down? I wonder... is your computer free from dust? i seem to remember my old computer would shut down with higher end graphic games and all i had to do was clean the dust out of certain key areas (like the CPU)
