Game is choking and dying. Wah!
KellyQ:
When I upgraded from the Nvidia FX5200 to the Nvidia 7600GTPro, I also changed the PSU to a 450 but that didn't stop the crashing/blue screen. Just to be clear, I'm not disagreeing, you definitely need a better PSU.
However it wasn't until I upgraded from 1 gb to 2 gb that the crashing/blue screen stopped, so if you're problems continue after you swap out the PSU, you might give that some thought.

I'm assuming you mean 1gb to 2gb RAM?
Budcot:
I was wondering if my problem is the same and would be cured by a larger power supply. The scenario is:
I load up sims and play for a while (with useshaders on, obviously) and then I quit it to play oblivion or vanguard. When I play oblivion or vanguard after playing sims I get the warning about lowering settings due to low power within 2-3 minutes. However my computer only ever does this if I have played sims first without restarting.
So, would a larger power supply fix that problem or the blue screen crashing?

Yes, I ASSumed you would know what I meant. Sorry. :-[
Budcot, I'm certainly not an expert but if my computer was giving me warnings about low power warnings, I would definitely look into getting a better PSU. They are not expensive at all; I believe mine was about $40-60 (can't recall the exact amount now) and the computer place I bought it from installed it for free.

Not an ASS KellyQ, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't leaping to the wrong conclusion. Wouldn't be the first time.
