Ok, have you updated the drivers on the Radeon 9000? I have that card and recently all my games crashed until I updated with the drivers. I think the latest driver isn't exactly recent, being a year or more old, but updating it fixed my problems immediately.

I downloaded the newest possible update but instead of it restarting my computer now the games just freezes. it is really starting to piss me off.
could it be that the card it make the in side of my computer to hot so it restarts?

plz help anyone
