Computer restart bug

[unmerged(14180)]

Hello Crusaders,

I downloaded the latest beta patches, fired up CK and had lots of fun.....

Hours pass by, so I save and shut the game down, bang, the computer is restarting....when the computer restarts, it offers to fire off a error mssg to microsoft...

This happens every time i play CK, restarts every time i exit the game.

I have an AMD 64 3400+
Abit N7 mobo
1gb ram.
geforce 6600 gt
soundblaster audigy

No other games have any problems with my system, been having a very bug free gaming experience up until now with CK.

ps: Installation of CK as follows.

Ck-1.04a-latest beta-fixer thing posted here.

As this doesn´t seem to happen to other people I´d presume it´s something that is caused by your system, so I moved the thread to tech support.

One piece of information that might be of help would be the way you received CK, i.e. whether it is a physical copy or an On-Demand one. And if from On-Demand whether it was downloaded earlier or this weekend after the change in their system.

Hello Grosshaus,

I bought CK when it first reached Australian shores some time ago. Direct from the games shop. Destributed by Auran software.

I concur with what you say about the hardware issue, but am worried about possibly upsetting my other games that all run fine. If anyone could tell me what hardware could cause a computer to restart after shutting down a game i will attempt to look further.

XP "spontaneously" restarting while an application is running usually means that it has intercepted what used to be known as a Blue Screen Of Death.

A BSOD is a system level fatal error. Normal applications cannot produce such an error, and a user gets simply a message box stating error x or y has occured. System level means either the Windows kernel, some associated device driver or system kernel extentions (aka DirectX or something similar).

My bet is the video driver.
