What's wrong with my pc? Everything was okay at first, but then all the games that required direct X/3D card didn't work anymore. An interesting thing is that DB works and DBPro don't.
I installed Direct X 9, and that didn't help, downloading of new drivers for my video card didn't work too.
It's not that the games don't work anymore, but they work for a few minutes and then the game freezes and the computer autorestarts.
I have a Geforce IV TI 4200, Pentium 2,4 GHz, 256 MB ram. And the problem just occured, I didn't install something...
Does anybody know what I can do about this?

Switch off the automatic restart (if your using 2000/XP) so you can see the message created when it BSOD.

Sounds like a driver of some sort.

I had a similar problem at one point. Never diagnosed it, got a new video card. I suggest totally uninstallation of all video/sound drivers, and then downloading the newest ones and reinstalling. Use Detonater Destroyer to wipe out the last fragments. That did help a couple of my video problems .

Is the computer restarting on it's own when youre not playing games? Could be the MSBLAST virus

just a thought

the blaster worm sucks. I have that. I kept trying to post but it keeps restarting the second i go on line. I think i stopped it though once I activated my firewall just a few minutes ago.

Comin soon: MegatonCreations.tk
Now all we need is an actual game!
Also: reviewing the games no one else bothered to
