Mechwarrior 4 reboots my computer!

Omegainf · May 14th, 2003

This is really getting on my nerves.. Everytime I try to select a team after creating a new profile my computer simply resets! I've tried applying the latest patch but it didn't solve my problem

Can anyone help me?

Lemmie know your Sys specs too. what your talking about is normaly a XP glitch, it sometimes happens when you dont have enough Ram memory. if you are running under Windows Xp, Remeber that Windows uses 64MB of Ram, and i believe MW4 uses 32. if you have ms plus installed also, that uses 32MB of ram. but post your system specs on hear anyway

why is your card an Althlon XP but your running it under 2000?? wouldnt that cause problems? but anyhow, the game wasint Fully Tested on Neither XP nor 2000, so its gonna be buggy

1) The two above are n00bs. (not u Iran)
2) Iran, you cant post that site cause it has cracks on it. (*poke* rules *poke*)

3) Defrag, try differnt drivers. PM Lord Kane, i forget which one he uses.

Does the comp bsod? I had a problem with GTA3+winxp+Voodoo3. The game would bluescreen after two mins.

Try to run the game in the game's safe mode.
if not, try to run the game in windows safe mode if possible.

Nopz, it doesn't BSOD

As soon as I click the team button I hear a a "click" from my case and my computer resets. It doesn't happen with any other game, only MW4... Gonna try a full install today, I was using the minimal one due to lack of disk space :/

Btw. reducing the agp apperture size to 4 made me pass this select team part which made me so happy that I'd decided to go back and select a different team wich made it reboot and never work again

What a dumba$$ I am
