Random reboot on asus a7n8x deluxe

i ran the burn in test for about 4 hours and it came back 100% but if i try
to play any opengl games suchs as Half life (team fortress classic) i have
random reboots i cant figure out what is causing this. Here is what i have

Asus a7n8x delux mobo
asus ti4200 8xagp 128mb graphics card
pc 2700 512mb memory (Generic)
Maxtor 60gb ata 133 hdd
Athlon xp2000+

Any help would be great!

What power supply do you have? It could be your video card is sucking mor
power when you play games, causing your powersupply to give up and fail...

You dont say whether you are overclocking or not, if you are try
backing down the speed to standard. If you are overclocking then
raising the voltages may help (particulary memory and chipset).

More often than the cause of reboots when the system is fully loaded
(both the CPU and graphics cards under stress) is the PSU simply can not
cope with the sudden change in power requirements (and/or cannot
maintain it for long).

Try removing (unplugging the power) from unecessary equipment like extra
hard drives if possible. If you find the reboots disappear then the
problem is the PSU (either its poor quality or simply inadequate).

Otherwise memory is he next thing to check, try substituting for others
(or running each stick on its own if you have more than 1). If possible
try a different brand if you can (borrow a friends if you can).
