Reboot Alway's

Since I install my G400 , my system reboot without any message error after a different time interval ( 5 minutes , or even 2 hours )

I have have a BX6 abit mainbord with the new bios version

I'm hopeless

my system is :
BX6 PII 450 Mhz
512 Mhz Ram
UW 2940 SCSI adaptor
9.1 Gb SCSI Quantum viking 2
4.3 Gb SCSI IBM
Voodoo2 Powercolor
IDE1 18.3 Quantum KA+ udma/66
IDE3 Philips Rew
IDE4 44x Speed ATAPI CD Rom
Matrox G400 max 32 Mb
3Com 509C TX 10/100 Mb Network
Hauppage PCI TV Card
ISDN extern Modem
HP 4200 SCSI Scanner
Epson EPL 5500 laser

So far, I don't know of anyone getting their Hauppage card to work with the G400. It may be a source of problems. But, I'd like to get a second opinion..

Without overclocking? That's what I'd get with excessive OC on my wife's PC. (I use hers to experiment. When it crashes, I tell her it's her fault.)
What's a 'Voodoo2 Powercolor'?

Have you tried running with the case off? All that stuff (esp the SCSI HD's) can be throwing a bunch of heat at your system. This is known to cause lock-ups, or sometimes spontaneous reboots.
Now that I look at your hardware again, I don't suspect heat as much as possibly a power problem. How big is the power supply? Could you manage to pull out a HD or two for the purposes of testing? If there is too much strain on a system, a less-than-adequate power supply may not be able to feed enough current to the CPU. This will cause it to shutdown, which will reduce strain, bringing the current back up, and hence the reboot.
