Okay, I might as well tell you my problem. I'm using Vista and a 8600GT overclocked to 630/1480 to play my PC games. I have a slimline PC with a 180W PSU so the card is pretty the max I can have. Anyways, I was running a game and all of a sudden, it froze but still had sound. This was similiar to a problem I had with my old PC when I had a Geforce 4 MX440 except it froze completely and I realized the MX 440 is crap. Here I can run task manager and end the game that way and everything would be fine. This problem keeps persisting so has my graphics card broke down or is it the game? The recommended requirements for the game is a 256 MB Geforce 7300 or higher. My CPU and RAM also beat the recommended requirements.

A 180W power supply is pretty weak. Is there any way you can get an upgraded PS?? I would recommend AT LEAST a 350W PS for gaming.
