Computer Restart.
Right at the start when you meet the robot just after you get the health bar and exp bar and stuff, When he takes you over to the new-u station and you have to activate it pressing 'E' my computer restarts.. It happens every time.
I've tried Un-installing and re-installing, tried a different keyboard, played with the resolution, I bought more RAM thinking I didnt have enough, but nothing fixes it.
PLEASE HELP
Trying looking at the even viewer under the system tab and check the events around the time it reboots. There may be a log of what error caused this reboot, and of course make sure everything is updated..specially video drivers.
Also is your video card onboard or stand alone?
Rightclick on "My Computer" , select "Properties>Advanced" then in the Startup & Recovery section press the Settings button.Untick Automatically restart under the System Failure heading then save & ok your way out. Next time you have a failure you will see the BSOD error and the system will not restart.
If it is AROUND the same time, there is a chance that your computer was over heating. Is it a laptop or desktop? Laptops are easier to over heat. In bad cases of over heating, your processor will cause your computer to shutdown and depending on the BIOS settings, your computer will restart.
Also, as I posted in another post, really make sure that you have everything updated. (Patches, DirectX, etc.)
Hope I could be of some help.
