Random Rebooting While 3d Gaming

My friend's computer system randomly reboots while playing Unreal Tournament 2003, now I have updated his nVidia Drivers, his UT & Windows XP are all upto date
with their patches etc. Does anyone have any Idea on what would be causing this?? I thought possibly a power supply but I personally wouldn't think so. Here
are his specs:

Asus A7M-266 Mainboard
512 PC 2100 Ram
120 GB Maxtor HD
Plextor 24x... CDRW
Pioneer Slot DVD Player
S.B. Live Audigy MP3+ Sound Card
Asus Ti4200-8X Video Card
Dlink 538 NIC
and a 300w Power supply

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing these random reboots while playing UT'03??

Thanks
Dman-x

If you are using the nVidia 52.16 driver with his Ti4200 card, that may be
the problem. Try using the 45.23 driver for stability with that card.

You're about at the maximum limit for the power supply. When the card
and CPU is having to work very hard it's drawing just enough extra
current to put it over the edge.
