System restart when doing anything 3D

[Johan Welgemoed]

Hi all

I recently bought a new PC:
Epox 4PDAI Motherboard, 400FSB, AGP 8X, DDR-400
Celeron 2.6Ghz 400FSB
1 Gb DDR-400 PC3200 RAM
NVidia Geforce 4 MX440 128MB AGP 8X

The problem is, the system restarts itself on anything 3D.
3DMark 2001 runs once or twice and then either aborts to desktop, or
restarts the pc.

I have a 300W PSU and already checked the temparature, all is fine in
this area.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Johan

A different set of Nvidia drivers would be the first thing I'd try.

restarts the pc.

My Computer (right click) - Properties -> Advanced -> Startup and
Recovery -> Settings ->
[ ] Automatically restart (turn this off!)

Windows will display an error message instead of restarting the next time
the system crashes.
Post the text of this error message to the newsgroup.

Hi All

Thanks for all the replies, but I the problem went away on the third
motherboard I installed.
