FS2004 randomly restarts

Hi folks:

 

This has been aggravating me for quite some time now. I have had this problem in the past, but have taken the following steps to try and fix it. I recently reformatted the C drive, did a COMPLETE reinstall of XP (ServicePack2) Home.

 

I sign on to SB, am sitting at the gate... and almost JUST as I start to taxi I hear a CLICK and the system restarts. My drivers are up to date, I am running an ATI Radeon 9500 Graphics card with 512 MB of RAM. I just DO NOT understand what the problem is. I have seriously considered hanging up my wings it has been this nerve raking lately.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Gus

Gus,

 

This is sounding like a hardware issue, possibly heat related.

System restarts may result from a faulty or undersized power supply also!

best regards,

Cleaned fans out and just put an additional one in there. I really have no idea what it could be.
