I had a simmilar problem a year ago, but it happened while watching divX
movies, too.

People told me the problem was in the heating of my graphics card, but it
was actually a combination of my bad sound card driver and a fawlty RAM.
Don't ask me how I found that out.

So try experimenting with these things (borrow RAM from a friend and switch
sticks one by one), or temper with dxdiag sound and video settings, maybe
it'll help. Also try to see the error code and search microsoft's pages on
subjects about it.

PSU ? How many Watts is it ?

...

Have you got an old video card that you could swap in to see if the problem
still occurs? How about swapping in different memory?

I take you are in WinXP? go to control panel, advanced/start-up and recovery
settings/ and tick off automatically restart the system on system failure.
at least with this setting you will be able to read the contents of the
"blue screen of death" to be able to let us know what the error msg is
saying. (untick administrative alert too while your there)

my guess at the moment (and this is just a guess) is that you might have a
faulty memory module and when you use enough memory to reach the bad spot
you crash, or it could be a bad sector on the hdd where your page file is
stored. or more likely your radeon is overheating when the system temp
raises, do you have enough ventilation for your beastie?
