Complete System Crash

OK. I have this computer. I installed Rome: Total War, the other day, and it works reasonably fine. sometimes having trouble opening, but no big deal. ok. I've been playing EVE online for a year. I just recently got a new account, and now I have two EVE online Clients running at a time. fine. EVE is an old program, 4 years old apparently, so it's inefficient. With both of those running, it uses 60% of my CPU. Not all of it, 60%. now. Sometimes for no good reason, the computer dies.

It makes a garbled sound, or the sound of static, or something, and goes black. A quick half-second flash of a blue screen, and then it goes black again. The screen says "no signal" and the computer restarts. Here are some basic stats of my computer.

Operating System System Model
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600) No details available
Processor a Main Circuit Board b
2.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. A8N32-SLI-Deluxe Rev 1.xx
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 1009 12/14/2005
Drives Memory Modules c,d
300.06 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
282.16 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space


Anything you can think of? It's not overheating, because I have a temperature gauge, and it says its running at 60.1 degrees celcius. Which from what I've heard is a normal temperature. so...?

It's not necessarily EVE that does it. In fact, it doesn't look like it's necessarily any kind of stress on the computer that does it. I had one window of firefox open yesterday, and the computer was just idling, when it happened again. exactly the same as when i had 2 EVEs open.

sys dies

hi, when you run these games you may be getting a heat problem.If this continues, you may damage something.Pull side panel and look at your processor fan Look for dust(lint) blocking your heat sinc. Try running the games with the side cover off and see if the problem reoccurs. Good luck Lenny

I turned off the auto-reboot, and i got a stop code....
0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xB13DDF95, 0Xa285b968, 0X00000000)

HA10KX2K.SYS - Address b13ddf95 BASE AT b1382000, Datestamp 44E3DF3F

I went to update my BIOS, but I don't know what I need. I tried checking on http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us
But I don't know what series or Model I have...
