My computer shuts down while playing games, it doesn't matter what game just any game and after a few minutes it just shuts down! No blue screen nothing, no warning.
I have msi mainboard
Fx 5500 vid card AGP
550 watt PS
2 gigs ram
Win Xp pro
320 g HD which was just install

I use to be able to play any game that was other some real high graphic demanding game
Everquest 1 & 2
Vanguard
And so on

I can even watch whole movie on my puter
Edit movies do picture edits so forth

But as soon as I try playing a game it shuts down after about 5 to 10 minutes

Any help will be much Appreciated
Thanks
