The dreaded reboot problem...
Hey guys,
I'm having some rebooting issues that are getting worse and worse. I've done a search on the forum, but all the problems are old, and this has been happening increasingly since the 1.41 patch. It's now to the point where when ever I start a game, single- or multi-player it doesn't even make it to the spawn screen before rebooting the computer.
Interestingly as far as my PC is concerned nothing has happened. No error logs, no BSoD, nothing. It used to happen every now and again, now I literally can't play the game.
For what it's worth -
System Specs:
CPU - AMD Sempron 3200+
GRAPHICS CARD - GeForce 7100
RAM - 1Gb
Latest Drivers installed (checked and double checked)
OS - XP Pro
Anti-Virus/firewall - AVG
Internet connection - 2Mb ADSL
As I say, the odd thing is that it was initially, for at least 3 months, working fine, and it's been slowly deteriorating over the past few weeks. Every other game works fine, except for the demo of BF 2142 which plays for a while and then... reboots the PC. Sigh...
If anybody has got any suggestions then I'd love to hear them.
I've tried everything short of replacing hardware - doing a reinstall, going back to the 1.4 patch, downloading the 1.41 patch from a different location,temps are fine, fans are coming on, drivers are up-to-date, old ones make no difference, virus and malware scan done... I'm completely out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
