I have bought from you a
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz (Retail 775)

Corsair 550W VX Series PSU
ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB PCI-E2.0
2 * 500GB Samsung Spinpoint SATA2 16MB
and from another store Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L/S3L, a case and a stick with 2 GB RAM.

I have build the PC and the preliminary testing shows that it boots fine, although i cant hear any beeps, probably neither the case nor the motherboard has speaker.I have installed XP Pro SP2, all the drivers but here the problems began.

I have installed Blitzkrieg and once I start a mission/campaign the screen goes black.

A bigger problem is the graphic card which I dont know why, but it restart the PC.If I enable the VPU recover safety option it wont give restart but the mouse pointer will stop responding for a few sec and the monitor goes black.This happens very often, like every 4-5 min or so.
I checked again the hardware and the connections, how the cards are placed on motherboard, etc and everything seems fine.

Another problem I have is with the
Samsung SH-S203 20X DVDRW - SATA - Black


I have as the only optical drive.I tried to install Heroes 4; I can see the disk, I have autorun enabled but I cannot install the game.Even if I use the "Start" -> "Run" option it wont work.It cant be the game CD because it works on my current PC.

This is not a big issue, but the graphic card problem is.

Any help?

I am not familiar with that graphics card, do you have the pci-e power connector connected, if it requires one?

Are you using the latest drivers? If not try them, if so try older ones.
