F@cking GTA: Vice City

Everytime it loads up to start a game half way through the loading period then my PC reboots itself.
I turned on BSOD but the screen returns blank, Just a blue screen with nothing on.
I've reinstalled it numorous times and reinstalled and tried diffrent gfx card drivers but it's still doing it.
I can't work out why because it always used to work fine I really can't remember anything remotely significant which I might have changed which could of caused this.


And to top it all off it's one of the very few games I've actually brought :frusty:

System Specs?

You wouldn't happen to have any integrated audio or video componants, would you?

Sorry I forgot my specs aren’t in my signature anymore, I got hit by the Nazi regime mod squad awhile back and had to shorten it :P.

AMD Athlon 2500 (Running @ Stock)
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe 2
512 MB DDR Ram
Radeon 9700 Pro (Stock)

Edit: Yes muskrat_love integrated audio.

Is the problem with only that game? If so then check the game makers site for fixes/updates.

I also don't think this is a hardware problem.

I've had several games reboot my computer and I found out the problem was with my integrated audio (Realtek). Went to wal-mart and bought a cheap soundcard and disabled Realtek and haven't had a problem since.
