System reboots while playing RO

[MÆST]

Recently, a number of times while playing RO all of a sudden my computer will completely shutdown and start its reboot sequence. There are no error messages, or any type of stuttering or freezing before the reboot. I have only had this problem when playing RO however it could also be a hardware/overheating problem (I just haven't had it happened in any other game). Not sure if anyone else is experiencing it.

System:
AMD Athlon 2800+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo
1GB Corsair XMS3200 RAM
ATI 9700Pro

This can happen if a mobo is set to restart to protect itself if it is overheating. Unreal engine is CPU bound for the most part.

Ya, I'm guessing that's it. I opened up motherboard monitor and played a few games, when I was done the temp was at 55C. While not dangerous (seen 85C listed as my CPU's max), I think it's kinda hot. I'll have to check out my bios on my next reboot and see what the autoshutoff temp is set at. Might raise it up a few degrees. I figured overheating was the problem because I started noticing it after I moved back home for the summer and put it upstairs in my kinda hot room and in the desk with kinda bad ventilation. I'll eventually take a vacuum to my PC and see if I can do any cable housekeeping. Anyone know if there's a program that will overlay CPU temperature over a full screen game's screen?

Sometimes RO restarts my computer when I just start the program up. I see the spash screen and then I see a reboot.

That is not related But we are aware of these issues. lATENT c post the files we want in the Red Orchestra doesn't launch sticky when that happens. It will help us track that down.
