it could be a heat related issue with your graphics card as the rest of your specs seem good enough for san andreas. i had it running fine on a similar system.

i could also be your processor that may be having heat issues as semprons arent really made for gaming but it should be ok.

yeah, it sounds like a heat problem...does the whole system shut down or just the game? if it is a heat problem, you could try taking the siding of your case off, or just buying another fan to hook up.

Remember, a cool computer is a happy computer.

taking the fan side off your case isnt really the way to go about fixing heat problems as it allows more dust to gather in the case eventually creating more heat problems and if your really unlucky it can build up static which is never good for anything electrical espescially PCs.

If it is a heat related problem you should be able to tell. if the computer is restarting after youve played for a while. go into the bios on the restart. theres usually a section called hardware monitor (or something along those lines) which tells you the temperature of your CPU and Motherboard.

find out what the temperatures are and ill tell you if your cpu is overheating or not

Im not sure i can belive that. Your saying that San andreas made your PS2 and Xbox overheat? or just completly stop working together?
Did you have a mod chip installed?
Did you have any other mods installed?
Where they ventilated?

@ zeek79 - i think you may have been very unlucky with your selection of rockstar games but ive never had problems like that espescially on xbox and ps2. i had a problem with san andreas on pc but that was down to my crap graphics card. it worked fine on my 2nd system.

dont take your game back. let me know when youve found out those temperatures when the system reboots
