SE5: was rebooting, now doesn't generate turns.

[Randallw]

I'd just like to see if my suspicion is accurate. Twice now, and perhaps last week, my computer has rebooted itself while I am playing Se5. Initially I chalked it up to my computer not handling hot days, like with a heatwave (in fact there is a bushfire in the suburb 2 over) and as such limited using the computer until the evening. But today it rebooted itself even though my computer was cool. As I had loaded a saved game and was around the same time I started to reason perhaps it couldn't handle it after a point. I started another game (HoI: DD) and have been playing for a few hours with no problems.

Has anyone else found that a bug causes their computer to reboot after se5 reaches a certain point. I've been playing it for the last week with no trouble.

I'd like to get a reply to this.

I presume you're using xp.

Try turning off the auto-reboot so you can see what kind of blue screen error you're getting. That might give a point to start in solving the problem.

Most often it is dusty ram for me.

dust. right I better clean out my computer again. If that's the cause then it doesn't have an effect except when I play SE5.

care to tell me how to turn off the auto-reboot.

Right click My Computer, click on Properties, click on the Advanced tab, click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery, and untick the Automatically restart option under System Failure.

Thanks. I actually came across that last night when I was looking, but I didn't make the connection about what it was for.
