This occurred when I recently upgrade my 7300LE to 8600GT and 533MHZ 512MB RAM to 2x 667MHZ 1GB RAM

I have no idea why this happening...please help!

Additional Info:

Motherboard (supports RAM:400/533MHZ VIDEO CARD: 16X graphic card)
Board: Hewleet-Packard Asterope2 1.0

Games are CPU intensive, make sure your CPU fan is not clogged with dust.

Power supply is feeble.
Also nTune is unstable garbage.

It's the power supply.

That means that I only need to change my power supply and everything would be OK?
How bout my RAM? Do I have to change it? Since my RAM is a 667MHZ and is connected to a motherboard that support 400/533 MHZ.....
