I'm running Windows XP (Boot Camp) on a MacBook Pro (2.33GHz w/ 2G Ram). I'm currently running SP2 but am downloading SP3 as I write this to see if it helps.

For the most part, everything works OK except for two problems.

1) Boot Camp Manager always crashes on start-up.

2) When running certain video games (specifically LOTR Online and Warhammer Online Public Beta), things will start fine and everything works for five minutes or so when, without warning, the computer will simply shut off.

The Boot Camp Manager thing doesn't really concern me but the main purpose on this install is for online gaming.

Anyone have any thoughts as to how to begin trouble shooting this?
