Has anyone else encountered this problem. My computer will just lock up it has happened to me five times since patch 8. It only happens while i'm online and four out of the five have been while i was in battle. I will have to display my operating system info when i return home but in the mean time i wanted to find out if anyone else was experiencing the same problem that i am.

That is typically heat or ram timing problems.

I recently experimented with an AMD system on a NForce2 chipset and found I could get it to run everything reliably, then fire up Aces High II and it would either reboot the system or lock up.
I then reset the timings for the RAM using the "By SPD" option and everything was rock solid.

Just a thought.

Disregard that. The HP system will not allow a user that type of control.

Instead, if you could send me the output from a DXDIAG, I would be happy to see if any is suspect. See the bottom of the "Hints and Tips" post at the top of the forum for instructions.
