Hi, my PC seems to restart every time I start up a game or Apple Quicktime. The screen goes black as though it's trying to change resolution and just restarts right after. This happens with just about all the games I tried. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
(P.S. I'll try to give you my specs later, I'm not home at the moment).
Thanks in advance!

Sorry Simon, it's the Radeon Driver you need to install from this site: Drivers & Software
Select your version of Windows, followed by "Radeon", followed by "Radeon 9200 series". |

From this link Simon?: Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package
If you already have .NET installed on your PC, it may be a good idea to uninstall that version, reboot your PC, and then try this one. |
