@bigdawgfoxx, how could you not know to turn off automatically the restrart feature? I have mentioned it, I don't know how many, times in the past little while and have seen others talk about that here in Hardwareworld. I don't get how you could have missed it.
Haha yeah Im always here...I knew how to do that..I guess it just didnt come to mind lol
Im prob gettin me 2 15in eclipses B) thanks for yalls help!
Ok...its not just restarting by itself, but like I got one of those windows errors, and then it ask me if i wana send a report to microsoft and shit..
Then I was playing again..for like 20 mins...and it just went to a blue screen and made like a really fast beeping noise on the speakers...
A plain blue screen or one with error details on it?Quote:

Whats your problem? I did know that, 2 years ago my old Dell kept doing it and I called them and they showed me how.

Check the error logs in Administrative Tools in Control PanelQuote:

I don't know why I didn't post this before but...it could be your OCed processor. When you are OCing, and your computer becomes unstable, the first thing you should try is unOCing your processor.
After that I guess reinstalling some drivers might help (video card and chipset drivers are important, soundcard might help too).
Last but not least, run a memory test. I've heard good about Memtest86, so you might want to try that out. ;)
But first, do what ChewieUK has suggested, and take a look in event logs and post any errors you can find that have to do with the problem. Then post here so maybe we can narrow down how many different tests you will have to try.
Very true, ROSSCO_2004. Does the same problem happen at normal CPU speed?
Another thing that comes to mind is... Does it only happen with that Manhunt game? If so then why would it even be hardware related?
cuz BSODs usually are...Quote:
