Reboot each 5-10 minutes

[Elanthril]

Ok, since like 1 month now my cpu reboots about every 5
or 10 minutes while I'm playing games only... It does not
reboot when I browse the web or talking with msn or that
kind of stuff... It reboots only during a game...
Something is weird... I tought it was my videocard
because at first it rebooted when I was playing heavy
graphic games like unreal 2003.. But then I installed
(about 2 weeks ago) Max Payne 2 which asks a good video
card... During the gameplay it's all good... No reboots.
But when the story goes on (anime book type of story), it
reboots EVERY time... Now I was playing Diablo 2 and it
rebooted into the Battle.Net chat room... Here's the
error msg (it asks me if I want to send my error report) :

BCCode : 1000008e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 :
BFF82AFD BCP3 : BA769C78
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0
Product : 256_1

First of all what does all that mean and how the heck do
I fix this problem ??????

Thx for replies

Sounds typical of an over heated graphics card. You don't mention what card
you have, but there are some dedicated news groups such as...
alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati
alt.comp.periphs.videocards.matrox
alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia

You'll need to setup your Outlook mail/newsreader to view them.
