I had to reformat my computer and reinstall everything. Now Vice City makes my system restart. No other game does this so far just Vice city and it never use to before the reformat, bios update, and graphic driver update but now it does. I'm using a P4 3ghz system with a MSI Neo2 mainboard and ATI radeon 9800 video card. Anyone know of this problem or think they know a possible solution? I also have reinstalled Call of Duty and its new expasion, Starwars Battlefront, and Rome Total war since the reformat and they all seem to work good but ViceCity only goes for a couple minutes a best before it reboots the system. I have tried tinkering with bios settings but nothing seems to help. Also tried turning off fast write but that didn't do it either. I doubt its my Ram since its worked good before and my systems well vented so I'm stumped.
I checked the event veiwer in WinXP and I have several yellow excaimation marks under applications with the below message which is possibly related to the restart while playing the game but I'm not sure and a I noticed a bunch of red x's under system which I'm sure have alot to do with it. So what should I do?

I have lots of these with red x's in system events, I think from every time the game has rebooted the system I'm guessing. And I know it has nothing to do with the game disc. I'm pretty sure atapi has something to do with the video card but I need your knowhow to tell me what it is.
