games cause reboot

[john]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games (More info?)

Here is my problem. My computer works perfectly fine when
I run production software, word processors, media
players, and such. Everytime I try to run a game program
it will reboot within about 1 to 5 minutes and the reboot
is like the computer is starting for the first time. Can
anyone tell me what the problem is or what the virus is
and how to detect and fix it or where i can get software
to detect and fix. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Your system is most likely restarting as a result of a STOP error.

To stop this behavior go to Control Panel / System / Advanced /
Click the Startup and Recovery Settings button / Uncheck the box
labelled "Automatically restart" under the System Failure section.

To analyse the error, try the steps in: http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

If the error indicates a file name that begins with ati, or nv (nVidia)
the most likely solution would be to install the latest drivers using
the instructions at: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html#drivers
