Howdy. I have a new computer I just got from best buy. It’s got 3.2 GHz processor, 2.00 GB of RAM, only a 400 wat power supply, and a NIVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache graphics card.  
Now I have two questions.  
1.) I just bought a nice [SIZE=2][BFG Tech BFGR7950512GTOCE GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 OC Video Card - Retail](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143071) graphics card. And I was wondering, does it sound like I would need a new power supply? [/SIZE]  
2.) And for some reason when I try to play Half-Life 2 or any steam powered game, my computer resets when trying to load the game. Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
