Definately sounds like a heat issue to me. I had a similar issue with a gpu that had gotten a bunch of dust up in the fan intake. I could play for a bit, then bam pc resets.

well. could be heat. but everything is 6 days old.
the fact that i dont have any fan control or a way of monitoring the temp on the GFX card "not with Nvidias Ntunes or with Riva tuner" would suggest that its probably related to cooling the card.
maybe i should try to get another GFX card to see if i have the same problem. maybe its the motherboard. i dont know. but it would rule out one or another.
could it be a good idee to have the same brand on both mobo and GFX card? my mobo is ASUS so maybe i should try a ASUS gfx card as well?
ATI instead of nvidia?

My roommate had a similar problem with a new computer he bought. The issue was the power supply. I'd recommend taking any other power supply that you know works (or buy off the shelf) and try it - we had a old spare one laying around and popped it in. OR put your 'buggy' power supply in another computer and see if that PC crashes instead.

No Nvidia control panel does not show my MB, and I have the new Nvidia chipset on this board(go figure). But I do have the fan control and temp monitor. I just installed the driver package from Nvidia and it was there. I have a 750w truepower PS, 8800 gts and vistia 32 also, I just cant figure out why you are having the problems you are having. maybe check your BIOS config. and make sure everything is operating at the correct voltage. I know for windws xp Nvidia has a program called Ntune, but im not sure if it works with vista
Where did u buy this computer? If all else fails just pop in the vista disk reformat and do a fresh install, update (do not let update install video driver, download from Nvida before hand and save to a thumb drive or cd first), then install video driver. I know dell and hp like to put alot of there stuff on computers that cause more trouble than they are worth.
OMG! i dont know what i just did.. but it seams like its running stable now..
maybe it was ERROR 40 all along.. 8| i will never turn this baby off.. haha
well.. the thing is this.. i live in italy. and im swedish.. soooooo italian operating sys and a swedish guy = ERROR 40..
my god i feel so stupid now.. 6 days of hell and some button presses out of frustation seam to do the trick...
