    ok here i go, My 3 week old pc wont start up for me, this happened after i installed a G Force FX 5600 this morning, there was a different 5600 in it and during gameplay the monitor would turn off and i would have to restart the Pc, up until now i have been blaming the Graphics card, but now it seems its the AGP slot at fault,
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Spec:
    Win XP Pro
    Epox mobo
    AMD 64 3000
    512 Ram
    350 watt PSU

    I'd check out your memory as a first step. Get this and create a bootable disk out of the ISO image. I had a AMD64 machine that was giving simular problems due to ram incompatabillity which lead to random reboots etc but only while playing games. Stumped me for a while but turned out to be the memory. Starting point anyway for you.
