Let me start by saying I’m know computers really well, but this problem has me stomped and by the ballz and squeezing. My brand new computer runs great over all but when I play games (happens only when I’m playing games) like Battlefield2, world of Warcraft, Half-life 2, and Starwars KOTOR 2. One of two things happens about 15min into the games. First when playing the game screen flickers then comes back but the screen is all pixilated and I can still play but can barely make out what’s happening on the screen and to fix this I have to reset the computer. Second is again when I’m playing my game screen will go black then come back but everything is scrambled on the screen and the computers is frozen and I have to cold boot it to get it to work. I have tried every thing from swapping video card, memory, CPU, updating the drivers and bios, rolling back drivers and bios and nothing works can’t find anything on the net. I just don’t know what to do so please if any one knows anything, I will love you forever or until I forget.

First you need to read the forum rules. No posting emails. Post in the appropriate forum. *moved from all other topics* How about trying a new motherboard? And a 300W PSU isn't that much once you get into gaming. I do believe they recommend at least a 350W PSU for your ATI card.
