SWG Client Crashes and RebootingFollow

Hi board!

recently due to not fault of my own had to format my pc and in the process my old Antec 550w decided it was going to see its last days on me! so off I went to work and tested all my components to make sure the psu had not caused any issues after dying which some can cause.

So i got a Jeantech 600w PSU since thats the only make our shop sells but ever since formatting and replacing the PSU I have had nothing but crashes and reboots constantly. No thinking that I may have had a virus or spyware clogiing system during the tests my ISP set me I ran Norton Pro, Spy Sweeper and Stinger which anyone would recognise to be the best possible setup to remove almost anything that walks the net.

After the scans, logged back into Galaxies and still had the fualt, so i formated PC again - in one day I have formatted PC about 5 times thinking I screwed software up installing updates a crap, well last night I did the format again, I dismantled the pc I re-applied thermal paste on cpu and the temperature is better for it, but there as been no temp issue involved the cpu vefore was running 40-50 which is good for a AMD but obviously if your using water cooling which im not then you'd be getting better.

I have ordered a new PSU thinking it may be the 600w not performing right can anyone suggest anything else - the PC went through a full 6hrs stress test and 3d bench mark and both results came back fine.

The PC is as followed:

Asus A7N8X-X
AMD Athlon 3000xp /(thermaltake 12 volcano cooling unit)
1.5gb DDR 3200 memory (pny)
128mb FX5900XT graphics card (msi)
160gb Samsung HDD
DVD-ROM 16x
DVD-RW 8x +/-

Jeantech 600w PSU which as all the markings for SATA, PCI-E and the mobo connections.

The last time I have had any major trouble with the PC was caused by PSU and Motherboard - I had an old MSI K7N2 Delta which overheated CPU all the time. If anyone can help I would be greatly appreciative.

Eithkoff, a bit of advice. You will get more feedback in the SWG forums since this partains completely to SWG, and not many of the SWG players read this board.
