How big is your power supply?

 

[gargouille]

What OS are you running?

Power supply seems to be fine mary,and running under winxp pro.windows shows a device driver problem,when i send an error report.but when i check my log of errors windows says it rebooted because of a bugcheck.

I have had this problem with a PIII running a Geforce2 under Windows XP. It bottomed out at random points and always blue screened with the same VGA error.

I managed to resolve this by applying an updated driver from the manufacturer, since then, no problems! Unfortunately, XP being the smartass it is, you may have a problem getting it to belive that your new driver is superior to its own!

Best of luck!
