Re: Gaming help

hi, welcome to DAL, first off, click start > control panel> system and go to the Advanced tab. In the startup and recovery section, click settings. in the new window, in the startup and recovery section (in the middle) UN-tick the box that says automaticaly restart.
Try the game again... you should get a blur screen, at the top is a title, take note of this, also the error code (e.g something like 0x000000D or similar).
Wait for the memory dump to complete (incase it is needed later on) and restart your computer, post on here the error message and code,
This will help us to try and resolve your issue.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Gaming help

do any other games work?
if you are confident with opening the case, you could check for overhaeting and make sure the fans are working properly... dont think it will be that though.
Have you tried re-installing the game? on the back, how many moniter sockets are there (usualy blue) http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/bb/back.jpg the blue one is the monitor socket? if there are 2, try plugging it in to the other one to check the graphics card (you may need to install the graphic drivers first)
also, re-install the graphics drivers for your existing graphics card
hope this helps,
Mike

Re: Gaming help

did it reboot just out of the blue? what were you doing at the time?
did you get an error message when you turned your computer back on?
also have you noticed anything different since it rebooted e.g new desktop/quicklaunce icons, new or changed icons in the system tray?
it could be a virus/spyware, try scanning using an up-to-date antivirus and spyware remover (2 free examples are AVG Antivirus and Lavasoft Ad-Aware (both can be downloaded using the apropriate links in my signature below)

Hope this helps,
Mike
