Sorry, i don't speak German, so i'm reading this thread using Altavista Babelfish translation :) Therefore, some things I understand, but some things I may miss .. anyway, I wanted to give more details: I think, the problem with reboot happens only when I play network-based games, like Final Fantasy XI and Rise of Nations. I use wireless Belkin Access Point USB connection to connect to Internet. Never have any problems with Internet connection, unless I'm playing games. I am going to try and uninstall my current graphics, and then install Radeon's latest drivers, see if it helps. I can also suspect the USB driver, but I don't have a choice for now. Later I will get wired connection, see what happens. Max

I am sorry to reply so late, and English, but I have exactly the same problem with my computer as mikest reported. This is the only discussion on the web that I found about this problem. I have P4-2.8, MSI PLS motherboard, Transcend DDR400 1 GB memory (dual channel, i.e., 2 modules, each 512 MB: TS64MLD64V4F3), Radeon 9800 Pro, and Windows XP SP1, in the Raidmax 668 case with Raidmax 420W power supply. My computer reboots when I play games, UNLESS I run MSI CoreCenter. Unfortunately, MSI CoreCenter often doesn't start with the message "Failed to load hardware monitor". If anyone has any update about this, please tell me! Maybe we could compare our hardware and identify the component that causes this problem... Thanks! Max
