Computer restarts while playing Sims--HELP!
ZiggyDoodle:
My curiosity has been sparked: Does your computer crash and burn with all apps or just TS2?
miros:
I think the person said that it crashed with just a Windows Explorer window open...
ZiggyDoodle:
Saw the reference to the monitor flickering, but nothing about Explorer.
Ziggy gets out reading glasses and looks again...
No matter; the system clearly is bugged.
nectere:
I have experienced restarting (not crashing) from the battery going out while using heavy programs. I have also seen it with faulty power supplies.
bluecatvon:
ZiggyDoodle: it crashed everytime i play Sims2, install microsoft dotnet frameworks, crash sometimes while surfing the net, copying large amounts of files, and watching a movie in windows media player. It has NEVER restarted itself while playing Theme Hospital and while idle.
Edit: OK I take it back. Now after hours of gameplay, I have my first restart while playing Hospital and while idle. Damn.
Formated the computer, not sure if it's a system problem but it's unlikely.
I checked with Memtest86, it scanned bout 18 hours without any errors. But then i had to cancel the program cause my friend came over to help with my problem. No clue at all. So it's official, I'm sending my computer to the shop tomorrow...worst case scenario is, I may not see it for 3 whole weeks...
anyhow, thank you all! hope it won't get to that worst case scenario. i can't imagine spending 3 weeks away from my dear computer...
