Well I have been having shit luck with this fucking computer. The things a beut, but my HD with windows (XP) on it failed.

So I replaced the harddrive, put XP back on it, and have been having nothing but problems. I have all the latest drivers so don't think thats it.

Anyways here is the problem: whenever I play video of any sort at all, it could be streamed from the net or a video on my HD, the computer will freeze up (it sounds like a CD skipping) and then reset itself. Its totally random as to when it will crash but it does it fairly often. I have not tried playing a video game yet but I imagine it will do the same.

Mobo: eVGA nforce 780i
Graphics: eVGA GTX 285
Processor: Q9450 2.66gzh OCed to 3.2 (could it be this? Never caused problems before)
PSU: Antec (I think its a True Power) 650W

Anyways... got any ideas?
