I'm guessing it may be related to the GPU (graphics card processor) getting hot and tripping the power to the PSU. I'm pretty noobish with these things however.

My main CPU temps are fine.

I installed a (free) program called msi afterburner http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

This monitors your graphics card and allows you to overclock/change fan speeds etc. I mapped the fan graph in it to speed up to a higher RPM than it was before. This has stopped COD crashing/rebooting for around 10-15 mins. Before it was rebooting in game every 5 mins or so. The program also shows you how hard your GPU is working in game.

Thx.

I'll try altering the settings in the ASUS software, so that it focuses on cooling rather than on max. performance.

No other game, included maxed-out ARMA2 cause this GPU problems like this though.

Ho hum.
