    Unhappy AMD KT333 chipset.. need help

    I recently got a new KT333 Chipset motherboard by ASUS with a AMD XP 2000+ processor, but when i play games such as WC3, it just restarts after like 30 minutes. Everything else works fine, just when i play games (ive only tried WC3 =/, because i just got it.) Ive updated all the drivers, and it's not overheating, so i dont know whats wrong =[. I have a Geforce4 TI4200 128 meg, 256 DDR RAM by Elixer, a 300W power supply (might be that?), and i htink that's it... ANY help would be greatly appriciated, thanks.

    Welcome to Sharky Forums

    I think you might be right, given you've no reason to believe temp is a problem. Get a good Antec PSU like the TruPower 330 or larger -- you won't be wasting any money cause you'll be needing more power as you add components anyway. Let us know how you're doing. Regards . . .

    If you have a 300 watt supply then it needs to be a *really* good one to cope with some of the latest systems of today. I got a good Q-Technology one, and it works fine, but I paid $80 for it, so it wants to be good

    Try and borrow a PSU from your mates or something before you spend money.

    Is it just WC3 or other programs too? I know WC3 doesn't like overclocking. I have to set my FSB back to almost stock to play WC3 without getting some kind of memory error.
