    I'm getting a reboot most times when I play bf2142 and never a CTD. Is there any tools you can run in the background that documents something why your system would reboot? I dont get any BSOD.

    I've checked my event viewer and the windows DMP but nothing shows up relating to a timeframe when I get a reboot. Most of my hardware is brand new so I need to find out what's causing this.

    I only get the reboot while playing bf2142. I find most of the time its during upclose explosions or flights but not always. I use mixed low-med settings. I've done most of the basic legwork diagnosing this but this is a stumper. All these hardwares are new.

    9800pro ATI (new card under warrenty, yes sent old one back just to see)
    1 gig ram (i have 1.5gigs but I've done the swapout/slots thingy already)
    3500 athlon 64
    600 PSU
    onboard sound
    asus a8v-mx
    maxtor HDD

    I'm an update freak so all drivers and patches are done (mobo, ati, XP, game) and I'm a regular Omega user. I tried older video driver versions both catalyst and Omega. Done the mem86 and windows memory testing, good. Inside the case is dust free, sides off and a fan pointing right at the ATI heat sink.

    The game plays fine and fast with no lag at all and no glitches except I get the darned reboots when I play.

    Any thoughts is appreciated.
