power is not the problem... your pc is heating up when you playing the game and cpu usage reaches 100 percent and stays there for some time till temps rise to a point not recommended so as a safety mechanism your pc restarts. I would suggest look into better cooling your pc. Looks like your new graphics card is responsible for the extra temp increase. invest in a powerful fan to better cool your pc * +

my graphic card is the ASUS EN210 and i does not have a power socket (sis freak) Thank you all for your help i will try all your suggestion. to (phly kid) but my pc also reboots when i watch movies do you think its still overheating? * +

most likley cause of a power down is lack of powe. overheating would normaly crash the game but leave the pc running or throttle the gfx back. instant off is normaly a power related issue (ei somthing isnt getting the power it needs) check the psu wattage and ampage. wht gfx card is it, cpu, powersupply? * +

you may need to attacj a 4 pin molex to the motherboard if the gfx takes 75watts. minimum power supply requirments is 300watts. if you have a 300watt then its likley that the problem lies with that as it may be 300watt peak power, the constant power may be 50+watts less. * +
