Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Hi Inferect Welcome to FPCH It sounds to me like your cpu is overheating and thus causing your machine to keep restarting. Make sure all fans are working and the pc is free of dust internally, especially around the cpu heatsink. What are your system specifications, eg memory, cpu etc? Quote
InFerect Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Thx, i hope i will find answer which i need :rolleyes: but 2other games work fine Rome : TW and LOTR : ROTK pc : 2gb ram vista 2.4ghz dual core Nvidia 8400 Quote
RandyL Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Hi InFerect: Please post in only one forum. If you are not sure which one we will move it to the correct one to the best of our knowledge. Down to business then. To start with you should open your case and see if there is a build up of dust, dirt or grime anywhere inside. If so post back and we will provide instructions on safe cleaning. You would be surprised at how fast this can happen based on different circumstances. Look for anything around the fans or the heatsink which looks like fins above it. Or any other area which might look clogged. Depending on the games they can be intensive on the hardware and tax them. A dirty computer can cause over heating and shut it down in such circumstances. Start with that. If that is not a problem then tell us the details of your game and your computer specs. Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

Goku Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help, InFerect. :) Does Windows keeps running simultaneously if you are not playing games or the condition still persists. Try keeping the computer idle for 10 minutes and see if it turns off. I hazard a guess but I think it might be a malware issue. However do not do anything unless the experts here advise you to do so. Try and see if you can operate the computer normally without rebooting or not? Good Luck. :) -- Goku Quote

Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Does you have a PS2 keyboard? If so plug that in and reboot and try then ok. Quote
InFerect Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Does you have a PS2 keyboard? If so plug that in and reboot and try then ok. no USB keyboard Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Does the pc support PS2 keyboard connections? Quote
Goku Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 No pc turns off only when i try to play not when its simply on anyway thx for trying to help and hi EDIT i try to play that game again today i play 15min (record) and beng pc turn off so what i've to do =/ rewrite windows or change to XP ? =/ Well I wouldn't really recommend it but if you were better fit with it, then I think that you should revert back to XP. One more thing I can think of is to configure the BIOS. I know you are having problems with your keyboards but try and see if you can get into BIOS. Here is a short article to give you a basic idea of it. How BIOS works? Enter the BIOS and try to modify the setting which monitors the CPU's temperature. This might also be a cause for the continuous reboot as the game might be overheating the processor. By default, it is set at optimal settings so raise them only a bit if you have too. If this doesn't work too, then either you are infected or your PC has not the appropriate specification to run it properly. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help. :) -- Goku Quote

Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Follow Goku's advice about system temperatures and see if that alters anything. If it does not then obtain a PS2 Keyboard, reboot and go into Last Known Good Configuration. Then get back to us. Quote
InFerect Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 i can get to BIOS but i cant control my keyboard when that window wiht safe mode etc opens =/ ok i try to configure BIOS Quote
Goku Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 i can get to BIOS but i cant control my keyboard when that window wiht safe mode etc opens =/ ok i try to configure BIOS Good. Then get back to us when you are ready. Hope the results are positive. Good Luck. :) -- Goku Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Inferect Please read what I have written. Quote
InFerect Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 i've small thing which i can use to make from USB to PS2 shoud i try ? and goku bios settings warning temperature is off Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 You can try using the adapter but it may not work, hopefully it will. Enable the Temperature setting to ON Quote
InFerect Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 You can try using the adapter but it may not work, hopefully it will. Enable the Temperature setting to ON i Enable Temperature to 70c and that windows does'nt open windows just turn on properly Quote
Goku Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 i Enable Temperature to 70c and that windows does'nt open windows just turn on properly If it was off, then its just that you can't play the game or your cooling systems don't work properly. As you have ruled the latter, I can only expect that its something to do with the specifications. Ok, to undo the damage, repeat the same procedure and reverse the settings. That should fix it. After you have done so, return back here and post back the results. One more thing. I don't want to be rude but can you please punctuate your posts. Sometimes, ramming words into each other may lead to confusions. Meanwhile I will try to find an alternate solution for you. :) -- Goku Quote
