Author Topic: My PC restarts everytime (Read 2210 times)

Greendead · « **on:** December 18, 2006, 09:15:39 AM »

It's so wierd. When I start SA, It restart. Sometimes I can play SA for a few minutes and it restarts. Few minutes ago I clicked on ''My Computer'', and it restarted. I clicked on Mozzila, it restarted. Wtf is wrong with my PC? I searched for viruses with AVG free edition, didn't find anything. It found some spywares, deleted them all. But this still happens. Any help would be appreciated

Check your reset button. Maybe you accidently keep hitting that button with your feet or chair out of exitement. Happened to me a few times.

I'm guessing your computer is overheating. Take the case off and get all the dust out, it used to happen to me.

That was pretty much what happened to me a while ago, you might have to reformat.

Lol why do ppl always say:" Just format the shit it should work." ? Maybe there is another reason than a software fail ?
hmm.. have your checked your motherboard or gfx card about its broken or overheated like BK says ?

Trying to reinstall SA...

i doubt it is overheating...

Its most likely a problem with San Andreas or DirectX

Download the latest version of DirectX from microsofts website.
Download the newest video card drivers
Reinstall SA

thats what i would try.

In fact its not only GTA i say: your ram is broken or your system is overheating.

Sounds like one of these problems..........PSU(power supply unit) Ram or overheating. Do you get a BSOD (blue screen of death)before it reboots? If you do, copy the big long error number and google it. If you don't get a BSOD you probably need to to disable the "automatically restart" feature in windows. It's in control panel........system.......advanced.......startup and recovery. It's checked "on" by default.

Dude, if it gets dust in it then it will block the fans and shit, it happened to me... and it's not like I left my comp for 5 years in a shed, the dust collected over a couple of months.
