OT: Sim City 4 Makes My Puter Reboot
Nothing else does this... not Titan Quest, not Sims 2 with a ton of downloads, not Dark Age of Camelot during a raid with 20 other people, nothing.
Any idea why this one game reboots my puter? Last edited by Miros1 : 04-01-2007 at 05:25 AM. |

Eek! Rose, that's bad!
I wonder if it could be your display settings? I know it tweaks mine. Otherwise, there are several forums and stuff for SC4 - worth Googling for help on this issue? The EA pages are not helpful at all but you would be used to that. |

I had a horrid feeling it might be something in the video card or driver... hubby's bright idea was check for a patch... he just doesn't get how Maxis/EA operates!

You patched SC4 and now it crashes the machine?

No, as installed, SC4 would reboot the machine after playing for a short period of time. I patched it; now it crashes in a shorter period of time!

Further lack of progress. Uninstalled a bunch of stuff including SC4. Defragged everything. Reinstalled SC4 on a different partition. I can play the first tutorial city for ages. Any other city: boom.
