Title: Weird computer issue
Post by: Estes on June 06, 2003, 09:44:12 PM

When I get in AH and play for about 8 minutes, my computer just restarts for no apparent reason...I talked to a local computer guru and he said it could be a number of things, so far I have ruled out memory, soundcard, and video card... My next thing's to try is improve the cooling system, if that doesn't work buy new/better power supply...Any suggestions?

Thanks

I would look at reformatting and loading up the HD again before getting any more parts. If it still does it then you can still get more parts and look for a problem with hardware.

Sounds either heat related or power related to me.
