Re: Computer restarting
its possible that while 4 tabling, that your video card is either pulling too much power from the power supply, or your video card is overheating, those would be my first two guesses

Is it restarting, or do you get a BSOD? Does this ever happen when you are running multiple memory-intensive apps? |

Re: Computer restarting
If he's running with default settings, WinXP will restart rather than show a BSOD. It's configurable under My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Startup & Recovery.

Re: Computer restarting
Its impossible with out tweaking to make xp BSOD. That was the big selling point, but normally it restarts windows explorer (your desktop) before the whole machine restarts

Re: Computer restarting
No BSOD and I can't recall myself running multiple memory intesive apps if poker isn't one.
