System specs are as follows:
30 gig HD
AMD Athlon XP 2100
768megs 2100 DDR
Abit Suliro geForce 4 ti4200 128meg
Soundblaster Audigy2
MSI k7 Ultra
Windows XP Pro

Whenever I load up a graphic heavy game, like Call of Duty or Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, I get about 5 minutes of up-time, then the screen goes white, i bunch of noise and static comes over the speakers, and the computer either has to be restarted or does it on its own. It started doing this occasionally back wheni put the system together in Christmas '02, but it was tolerable, and not much of a problem. It also sometimes does this when i use the scroll wheel on my mouse at certain sites.. such as punkrockvids.com. I have chainged out mice, USP and PS2, and that hasn't fixed it. I think its the video card, but im looking for outside imput. has anyone ever heard of this?
 
irq problem irq 11 needs to be reserved for the gf 4 ti... turn irq steering off in windows, and turn off irq for usb ports if your mouse is a usb.
