  When i play WC3, the computer will auto reboot or boot. I tried to change the graphic or Ram but it seems like the problem still existed..
  
  If computer overheat, will it auto restart computer?

  1. Try reinstalling or repairing W3C.
  
  2. Although Windows XP detects drivers automatically, the best is to install via the CD given and update it. Don't assume it will work. Most of the time it will, but if it doesn't and give problems, try installing the drivers from the CD given.
  
  3. When computer overheats, it may or may not restart. Depends on the computer manufacturer. Some will force it to restart, others, will just shut it down.

  Funny, is that when i play online games like Maple story, audition or WC3, it will just hang.. but when i play those sega, nintendo emulators.. it works prefectly..

  Is not overheat. I suspect it might be not enough power watts

  Same thing happened to me before. Had to reformat and reinstall windows. I think is the OS got corrupted.

  I doubt so, because usually when there's not enough power, it will shut down, rather than restart. Plus, if not enough power, during the loading up of Windows, it would have shut off by itself.
  
  Since you have no programs with other games, it might be other problems.

  I have tested almost everything
  
  - install graphic driver
  - check Ram
  - disable auto restart
  - scan for virus
  - reinstall OS
  
  The only thing that i suspect is power supply.. I am using 3 HDD... can it be the problem ?

  3 HDD... it might be down to power issues. What's your PSU wattage?
