Please post your system specs and the driver versions you are using.

I had the exact same problem when I upgraded my memory to pc133. I was only clocking it at 112 but after 5 minutes of halflife online the computer would restart. Check your bios memory settings specifically the dram page mode and the cas settings. Set everything to the slowest possible speed and see what happens, if its stable work from there until you find the culprit....

Well that's just a great fix isn't it?
Your having computer issues so you downgrade it to fix it.
We have already had one thread like this over in the applications forum.
Fine, go back to the inferior OS - I think your one of the people who aren't quite ready for an OS based on WinNT (One of the people who have forced MS's stance of Win2k=Business Only)

Why don't you do what Spaceman suggested first, and post your system specs.
 
That way GayRunner and I will have something to work with.

Did anyone else see this one coming? He seemed to follow the same path that our other friends have of posting vague error descriptions, no system specs, and no extra information, then getting mad when no one responds with a fix within an hour. I personally say good riddance! If he's that impatient, let him run winME or whatever else he wants to.

yeah i think he should get a nintendo since it seems PCs are too complicated.
 
THATS IT this playstation is too complicated, i can't put in a CD and press power. Im going back to Nintendo, all my nintendo games worked on that!!!
 
Next time you want a question answered post your system specs and driver revisions. Maybe checking the error log would help too.
