My computer exceeds all the requirements and it installed correctly. So i start playing and I get to the part where you have to pickpocket for the first time and then my computer restarts by itself. It said that windows restarted unexpectadly because it wasn't responding or that it was protecting data. So i tried playing again and this time it restarted sooner. I uninstalled then reinstalled it again: same thing. Also, it has frozen sometimes when i first start it up, then unfreezes then freezes again about every 1 min, but thats only happened a couple of times. I have COD 4 and it doesn't do it for that, i also uninstalled every single game i have on my computer just in case it was using too much memory, but it didn't make a difference. Also, I use the 360 controller if that matters.

it is either a faulty game, or computer or it just might not be compatible with your computer. if i was you i would get my money back, swap it for another on...if you can

A computer restarting iteslf is a problem at the hardware level. It could be caused by drivers running hardware when utilizing software so try updating your video card and sound card drivers.
