"How Utterly Odd"

I was playing Age Of Empires: Conquerers (not online) and midgame my computer just rebooted itself.

Now I didnt press the power button or anything like that - it just cut out for some reason totally unknown to me.

Strange huh?

I always get things like that happening when I play AOE.

That happens to me all the time when I play Championship Manager 4. It's caused much pain, deleted games and anger.

It happened with me once... except I wasnt playing a game or anything..

woooowwwww is that like a coincidence it happened in my dream last night ????? and then my computer wet my bed@!!!!!!

No, you wet your bed, you slack bladdered spastic.

You running XP? From what I remember, rather than Blue Screen Of Deathing, it is set to reboot by default. So if an error occurs in the game that in the olden days of 98SE would have BSODed, instead you now get the super modern, very unhelpful reboot.

You can turn it off, though can't remember how off the top of my head. Or, it could be that you're overheating. Which is bad, though probably easy enough to solve.

I dont think it is overheating - we have two beastly fans in. A processor fan and another chap.

It may be just coincidence but I only installed Conquerers Expansion today, and I think the game is a bit buggy.

I get that with Halo all the time.

It just reboots randomly, it's usually a driver problem.
