The above is the system info.
The problem is this... I use the computer primarily in business (Microsoft office, Quickbooks, Goldmine) but also with games (C&C, MS Rise of Legends, Ghost Recon). Last week while playing C&C on the lan, the system rebooted without any error screen...it started getting jerky and then went straight to the bios boot process. Rebooting was slow and it would start a game-slowly- but it was jerky and would crash again. I reseated the memory and cards, ran spyware checkers and virus scan, PCOptimise without help. The next day it ran business software flawlessly but when I tried a game it was slow and unplayable...but it did not crash. I had it into the shop a few months ago for similar problems and they replaced a memory card. They gave it a thorough diagnostic and were'nt sure what the problem was. But it has worked fine until now. Are there deep diagnostics I could try? Suggestions?
