Computer Restarts When I Play. Help!

[Utopianlaw]

Here's what I sent to EA Customer Support:

I just moved my hard drive to a new computer with a ASUS X1600 Series video card. I updated the video card driver and motherboard drivers. Now whenever I play a dynasty game, the comptuer restarts randomly, but only when I play a game not when I'm surfing the web or watching a DVD. I've checked the opition in my Performance tab in the System opition to stop automatic restart my computer, but I don't even see a BSOD. Please help. Whatever more information you need, I'll be happy to give it to you. Thank you so much.

I sent the attached file (txt file in a zip file) to them and got a reply back:

Did you reinstall the game after transferring your hard drive to a new system?

However, it sounds like your saved data has been corrupted. Please try to create and load a new profile with a different name. If you were able to load the new profile without experiencing the same issue, then your saved data has been corrupted. When such an occurrence happens, it’s best that you delete this saved game and create a new one. There is no way on restoring these corrupted files and the only solution that can solve this is to start from scratch. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Of course, it didn't work. Here's what I sent back:

I moved all of my old files and profiles out of the MVP Baseball 2005 folder in My Documents and deleted the rest of the files in the folder.

I uninstalled the game, then delted everything in the MVP Baseball 2005 folder in the EA Sports folder in Program Files.

I again reinstalled the game.

I started the game and created a new profile.

Played and exhibition game. 2 and 1/3 innings into it, it restarted by itself.

- It's not a corrupt file.

What else can you suggest?

I don't have any mods in any of the MVP folders. The computer restarts by itself. I'm not running it on high graphics (800-600) so it's not like I'm asking a whole lot. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Maybe your video card is overheating?

That is one of the things that happend to me when I had a stick of RAM that was not compatable with my board.

I eatch DVD's all the time, and it doesn't do that. I leave my computer on, and I've got two fans in my computer, one blowing in, the other blowing out. So, I believe that I have enough circulation.

Abraves -

When I first stet up the computer, it wouldn't start up, so I callled the MB company. I asked if it was compatable, and it is (and the it wasn't starting up is because I didn't have the chipset installed so it wouldn't recconize the set up I have).

Both good ideas, thanks for the ideas...

Sorry for this double post, I don't know how it happened...

if you are running ativirus ,try turning it off,or trying to disable all startup items in msconfig,and then turn them back on when not playing,,worth a shot...

Try upping your RAM voltage. (first consult technical support from the company that makes your RAM)

Btw... this issue belongs in the tech section of the forums. This is not an MVP issue. (even though it happens when MVP is being played, it has to do with taxing your computer capabilites)
