Crash to reboot?.

I went through the same thing, but figured fast it was hardware related, just couldn't figure out what.

Are your other games, programs running fine?

Strange, I would reload the game, then my PC would totally crash. The game would act up some before. At this time, I could still boot my PC and start again. However, after a minute same thing. Finally my cp would not boot up, just reboot. Did a clean format and reinstalled winxp. Could get to the DT once, but nothing would work. Finally could never boot to the desktop.

Thought the HD was going bad, because it made a funny whir at startup. Turned out to be one bad memory chip. Took two days to figure it out.
