PC randomly reboots ONLY when DOTA!

New postby caliber45 » 16 Jan 2008 00:16

Very very weird.. :shock: :???:

When playing for 10 mins or so... it just stops and reboots. No BSD (think i disabled that)

Happened weeks ago. I can say this only arise when i put in a brand new motherboard. Can this possibly be the reason? (HOPE NOT :? )

It ONLY happens when i run Dota..
leaving pc on 24hrs, playing COD4 for 5hrs straight or CS Source gives zero problems.

Specs :

Athlon X2 3600
1GB DDR2
MSI K9N Neo V3 (Just installed weeks ago)
MSI 256Mb 7600GS
80GB Sata Seagate


i've tried reinstalling graphics driver from stock CD but no avail. (driver from cd is older than wat i currently have).
Tried running memtest86 for 1hour but no errors found.

really out of ideas for this one.. pleease help..
thank you

Take your PC and throw? :lol:

my friend has the exact same problem as you, but he is only facing it on company of heroes. Are you using w3c softwares like GG clients? if you were, have you ever thought that some programs are conflicting with it? have you tried playing DOTA in skirmish mode?

Use a China branded baseball bat and beat up the PC real good. :cool:

Hehe...seriously, try this:

desktop screen - right click (click on properties)
- advanced tab (click Settings on the 'Start up and Recovery')
- On 'System failures' section, uncheck the automatically restart

Is there any side effect by doing that tweak?

haha sry guys, forgot to update...

emm i solved it. I post up the same thing at lowyat..

Its regarding onboard soundcard prbs..

The remedy :


Go to sound options and change the sound provider to another one. It was Creative labs then i select Dolby Surround.

After that..no more rebuuting mysteries! :cool: :lol:



@crazykid - no la..no prbs with GG. Running smooth on that one...

Wokie! Thanx for the update, Calib.

Now we know a soundcard can cause reboots.
