hello, Im not sure what is causing my computer to crash so since Im using Vista x64 i assume it is best to ask for help here ^^


For starters, I am running:

Asus Striker II formula mother board
8 gigs of ram
BFG 8600 ddr3 video card (x2 - SLI)
Intel 2.50ghz quad core
700w power supply


I can run windows fine, surf the net, email, msn and small applications with no problems at all.
My problem is my computer is shutting down when ever I start to run something like Adobe photoshop, Lightwave, any game, even when I try to see what my system rank is in Control panel >> System.

I don't think it is in over heat problem, other than the cpu fan and fan in the power supply I also have a PCI fan running.

If my problem is my power supply Im a little screwed since I lost the recipt for it, I'm hoping that it is a bio's error or something like that.

I think that's about it, hope someone can help me out :'(
