powersupply? Esp. with newer cards that have an external connector can drain power.

Also video drivers have done this to me. Try a different version and see what happens.

Hmm, dont think the power supply is the problem. Its a 380 watt (?) pretty sure. And i only have a gf4 ti 4800, 1 gig pc3200 ram and an amd 2800+, it also happened when i clicked on the mig quick mission.

No power supply shouldn't be a problem then. You are running with a GF4ti, what version of dets are you using? The 5x.xx series seems to cause problems in pre FX cards. I find the last WHQL 45.xx drivers work best for me in all games.
