Computer resarts when running a full screen app.

[jimlad 0]

If im playing a full screen game for some reason every now and again my computer decides to restart, it doesnt do it when in on my desktop or surfing the web etc. I have checked my mobo and its running at 25°c and my cpu is running at 41°c so its not overheating, i have also checked the psu to mobo connector and there is a pin missing, is that supposed to be missing or not, and if not is that the cause of my restarts?

 

Cheers

Does this happen only when you are pushing your video card to the max?

 

What rating is your PSU? And a longshot, but has your ATI 9800XT got it's power cable plugged in?

hmmmm, all power cables in, I can run my games in a window ok though, I dont know what rating my psu is but its an akassa which I've always trusted and used.
