PM2004 - Game runs fine then my system reboots???

By zues1333 Posted December 4, 2004 03:13:31

I play many different games such as Battlefield 1942, Worms A., Unreal 2003, and many mods of those games. None bring me the problems that I get with this game. I like the game but I have yet to finish a camipiagn without it freezeing up, or rebooting magically out of no where. I have updated to the newest version(1.02) because I thought that was the problem. It didnt work, as soon as I finished the first election and it did the red/blue state showing who won, it rebooted!!! Very annoying seeing I was wanting to save my game.
I have saved my dxdiag .txt file on my system. My specs are win2k pro, directx 9.0c(newest version), pentium 4 3.03Ghz, 512MB pc3200, 2 160GB 7200RPM hdds, nvidia fx5200(upgrading to 5700 ultra soon but definitly not req by this game), Asus P4S800 mobo, Antec 500watt ps.

More info I checked my event viewer and got this on my system rebooting, of which it only does with political machines software.

*The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x00000010, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xbfc78377). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini120404-01.dmp.

I have the file but I dont know what to do with it. Where do I need to email this info off to?? By the way please fix this bug I really do like this game and I wouldnt have bought it if it didnt have Ubisoft's name on it. (Spinter Cell and Prince of Persia are some of my favorite games from the PS2)

Check with support

Sorry, I solved my own problem. Looked for errors concerning that and was told by a page on Microsoft that it is either a system overheatinng from overclocking or a driver problem. I have my p4 2.6 overclocked to 3.03 but thats not the problem (my cpu temp is 90F). I thought I had the newest drivers from nvidia... I guess not. I updated the driver for my nvidia FX5200 card and it worked fine.
