Hey everyone. Recently my computer has been locking up 100% in INS. I will be playing fine then all the sudden my entire rig will lock up.

Specs:
CPU: Pentium 4 HT Prescott 2.8ghz overclocked to 3.20ghz
MotherBoard: Asrock 4Coredual-sata2 pt880 LGA775
Ram: 2 gigs DDR2 667
Graphics: ATI x1650 pro AGP x8
Hard Drive: 80 gig IDE SG Barracuda
Powersupply: 200 Watt Dell

Im guessing its the power supply. My CPU runs at 35C under full load so it cant be overheating.

Sometimes after restarting the computer I can hear windows start but I dont have video. Restarting again fixes that.
 
Yeah, your power supply is probably under powering your rig. A 200 Watt PSU is nothing. New power supplies are pretty cheap, so you could always put a new one in and see if that works. Or if you have a friend who has a more powerful PSU, you could ask if he could bring it over and test it out and see if thats the problem.

Also are all of the parts in your computer OEM? Or did you go out and buy a new graphics card?

All the parts i bought from new egg.
 
Oh wow, yeah you probably need a more powerful PSU. I would suggest a 500 or if you want to future proof, even a 750.
