Crashes into a system reboot

Jacarr · #1 10-09-2009, 03:07 AM

I'll just be playing the game and it'll randomly crash into a blue screen and reboot my system on me. Sometimes I can play for three hours, an hour, 20 minutes. It really doesn't crash at any specific time, but the game plays great until then. Anyone know any quick pointers?

Downloaded it straight off the King's Bounty official site, using Vista 32, with a Radeon HD3870 x2. Only reason I'm listing those is because they're usually the culprit any time I have PC game issues otherwise I'll send the full dxdiag in to support.

l have had the same problem from time to time, l don't think its your system as l use Windows XP SP3 with a Nvida card. when l asked about it l never got a reply.

Well, everything other than Civ4 (which also crashes, but only to desktop - always accompanied by a memory error message) play smooth on maxed settings for as long as I want to play.

Civ4 has been that way no matter how many systems I've put it on by now and I'm using 4GB in this system so I just gave up trying with Civ4. What a resource hog.

l have 46 other games and they all run fine, including Civ4 on my computer, does anyone know why this game restarts my computer nearly every time l play it.

Make sure you get the latest patch and drivers. That way, you'll still crash, but it won't reboot afterwards.

l have the latest game patch installed & the latest Nvida Graphics & DirectX also installed & it still reboots from time to time. Anyone else have any suggestions.
