So yeah, I've been having some problems. When I'm playing CS:S or Kotor my computer randomly releases its bowels (black screen/fans start up (as if its restarting) but nothing happens, so my display goes into sleep. At this point I restart manually and dropkick my pc into my grandmas face)). This was only happening with CS:S before, so I thought it could be the cause, but I recently downloaded Kotor (Steam) and its happened twice. This doesn't happen with HL2, Crysis, Fallout 3 or Stalker etc...
Here's some shit from the event viewer:
I get a Critical Error that corresponds with the crash, Kernel-Power event Id 41:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Also an Error that also corresponds with the crash, Event-Log event Id 6008:
The previous system shutdown at 1:00:53 AM on 07/10/2009 was unexpected.

Also, I've tried disabling automatic restart so it displays a BSOD, but it does nothing. I've tried downloading the debugging tool and doing all that shit with the dump file but it says it cannot find the directory or something (I'd give details but I'm too lazy to do it again right now). In fact, there isn't even a minidump folder, there's a LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG folder though, with .DMP files in it... probably a Windows 7 thing...
I think that's everything but I probably missed something somewhere...
Specs:
Windows 7
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00GHz
Corsair 2 GB ram
Corsair 550W Power Supply
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi
Nvidia e-GeForce Superclocked 9600 GT 512MB
Asus P5N-D 750I
Seagate Barracuda 250GB
Coolermaster CM 690 case
LG G-H20L DVDRW
I've read some other threads with similar problems and one said to update the bios, but the Asus website isnt making this easy... there's this,
http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/technicaldocuments.aspx?root=198&SLanguage=en-us
But it looks quite complicated and I don't have a floppy disk drive which seems to be need here.
Any other ideas?
