Hey guys, this is my first post and i was wondering if anybody could help me with a problem i am having. Ever since i updated from windows 98 to xp, every time i play a game that requires a cd to be played, after about 10-15 minutes of playing, the screen will go black and my computer will restart. But, when i play other games like counter-strike that do not require cd's to be in the cd rom i do not have this problem. Does anybody know what is wrong with my computer? Any help is appreciated.
