Default Comp freezing up or rebooting

I just got a new Samsung 930B LCD monitor. It replaced
my old Samsung 17" crt monitor. I never ever had a
computer lockup or reboot prob when playing NASCAR 2003
or anything else for that matter. This is the only game
I do and I do it online (cable modem, with router). The
picture and FPS rate (65-70) are ok with me and dont
affect the game.

Do these LCD monitors draw more power than a CRT? I'm
using the DVI cable hooked to my video card, an ATI
9800PRO 128 mb version. Im surprised I needed the anolog
cable plus the DVI cable hooked up to get the ditigal
signal, but thats the only way it works..........

The rest of my specs are
MSI 865G NEO2 mb
1 GB of Crucial ram 2 sticks, dual channel.
Intel P4 3.2 overclocked to 3.3
Antec true power 380W power supply
Onboard sound
Nothing running in the background when im online playing
the game.

this all started after installing the monitor. I did up
grade to the newest Cayalyst drivers 6.3 so mabey this
if the prob. I'm not sure of what settings to have on
adn off in the control center. I have the refresh rate
set at 60 and the override set at 70. Is fast write
supossed to be on or off??

I have no other issues other than playing the game.
Tired of being in the top 10 and getting booted!!!!!

Thanks
