Should I panic?

[Stickfigure]

So lately my pc has been restarting while I'm playing a game. No BSOD or anything, screen just goes black, fan speed turns down and the sound of the game plays for a few seconds and then the sound freezes.

I had just moved over to 64bit so I thought it was that, went back to 32bit and pc still restarts. I was running ATI 9.4 so I tried 9.3 and pc still restarts. I tried different ram and still no luck.

All windows has reported is the following two things

So it appears it is driver related but I'm not sure what to do, as I've tried pretty much anything I can think of. My pc only restarts while playing games. I can happily browse the internet and watch movies and videos on my pc with no problems.

Any suggestions?

Remove graphic card, remove hsf, clean, apply new AC5, assemble. Just don't panic

Last time something like that happened to me it was a PSU issue

Check the BIOS for any GPU overclocking feature?
Gigabyte for example has an overclocking feature called "Robust Graphics Booster" with a turbo option. Make sure it's disabled.

Check the temps on your CPU and GFX card as well.

You can always try to seek help from a technician so ensure that you will not do something that can damage your system.

Yup.
You may go ahead and panic.
