Fiesta causing the computer to restart

[Syrlith]

I have no idea why, but my computer randomly restarts while I am playing Fiesta. I've had this computer for a few months, and it never did this untill I started playing Fiesta.
This only occurs while I am playing the game, though it is more of a nuisance than a danger fortunately. Still, this has happened nine times, so I thought I'd report it.

Not a good sign.

You are mostly likely overheating. Make sure all of your fans are working.

It could also be that your Power supply,Video card, or Ram is going bad.

yep Trebor is correct if your computer is restarting that means you're not having sufficient power supply to boost the graphics card,
most likely ur power supply is damaged, this can occur during t-storms
always remember to shut down ur machine and unplug it
power supplies range from 40-300$ depending on how much power u need

I'll just have to assume you have xp.

I would try turning both off, see if problem goes away or you at least get an error message. If its still just "rebooting" you are pretty much stuck with a power issue, or a heat issue. Overheated video card will freeze and cause artifacts. Overheated processor (CPU) can reboot or lock up. Inusfficient power/dirty power, and have specific pieces of hardware going out, giving strange errors (suddenly have you have no hard drive in my computer), or reboots.

Try shutting down all those little worthless programs running in your system tray (bottom right). Fiesta seems really tolerant of using other programs/being minimized and maximized. Really its got a great interface and is programmed very cleanly. But there may be some little program you have running that could cause problems.

Come back and ask if you have more questions.
my vote is on a power issue (since your pc only 6 months, unless its really dusty/you have multiple inside animals). Then I say its a cpu overheating. To which a can of compressed air usually does the job.
