    Computer shuts down
    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
