[Ennui2112]

Currently when I play Brother In Arms about 5 minutes into the game, give or take, my computer will randomly reboot while I am playing. My computer specs are as follows:

You can try updating you motherboard drivers...you could also try this.

AMD XP Possible Fix

If you have a AMD Athlon XP your problem could be that your SSE is not turned on and thank you for user099 for posting these instructions on turning it on:

Quote from another post:
"The problem still lies in the fact that SSE isn't available. In Thunderbirds it just isn't there and many just don't have it enabled on Athlon XPs. Use this link and learn how to enable SSE support and so play BIA http://www.myplc.com/sony/sse_enabling_and_wcpuid.htm

If you have Athlon XP just enable SSE.

SSE has already been turned on so that isnt helping anything. I want to try updating my motherboard drivers but, well, quite frankly I dont remember what motherboard I have.. how can I find out what motherboard I have?

You could run this in "Start"---Run---Type "msinfo"(gives you info on your rig)

Do you have spyware prevention software running?

Also, in XP you can turn off automatic rebooting.
Go to start menu, Control Panel, Click on Classic view, then go to System, Advanced, At the bottom you'll see start up and Recovery, click the settings tab in that, then you'll see a box in there that says automatic restart. Unclick that box. Now if there is a system failure you'll get the Blue Screen of Death. Usually that'll give you some idea as to what is failing.
