Hi guys.

I just finished building my system 3 days ago and today I play Quake 4. The graphic is amazing.

Here is my problem, when I play the game for like 30 minutes, the computer restart. What is the problem? I mean my system is pretty solid with high-end components. Why is it keep restarting? What could cause the system unstable enough to reboot after 30 minutes of play.

Computer Spec:

Case - Cooler Master Praeton

Forton Bluestorm 500 Watts.
AMD Athlon64 3700+ 1MB cache (2.2ghz) - Stock
DFI Lanparty UT NF4
ZALMAN CNPS7700 939
OCZ EL Platinum 1GB timing 2-2-2-5 (I set it at 2-3-2-5, 2.7 Volts)
EVGA nVidia 7800GT Copper Heatsink clock @ 470 mhz
Seagate barracla 250 GB
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS

Quake 4 Game Setting:
High Quality
Resolution 1280 x 1024
EAX sound Enable.

Please help.
 
Sounds like it's overheating. Check your temps. You might also want to set your memory to default timings and voltages, as it may be crapping out. Run memtest for a while and see if it repeats the issue, or gives an error.
 
well I ran Prime95 stress test yesterday and the Max temp is 38Celcius, all passed for 19 hours. I am running stock right now. I think it gotta do with the DFI Fan speed setting. I tweak it so that all fan run at full speed if temp reaches >30celcius.

After this test and if after playing quake 4 without the computer restarting, I want to overclock to 2.4ghz or 2.6 (ideally).

Cannot be PSU, this forton is a beast. Very stable, I've read the reviews. Anyways I play Quake 4 for 4 hours lastnight and it is stable. I guess the fan setting works.
