Computer restarts while playing (especially online)

[IamJaruh]

Dear support, i hope anyone can advice me on this problem, besides buying a new computer..

It seems that while running the game (V1.6.1), my computer every now and then restarts. Is
this somehow familliar? I tried installing it again, cleaned up my PC, even formatted everything
to install Windows again -XP Pro- and still once every 5 to 20 minutes my computers fails
and switch itself off and on quickly, certainly when playing online. The game is always stuttering images
before actually failing. This way i now its coming.

Realy hope someone can tell me about a possible solution.. Thanks in adance!

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Does this happen when playing some other 3d games?

Just when playing Dsj... Do have to say that because i have an old Pentium III, my cpu doesn't play games very fast,
though it doesn't fail. Sometimes when playing Dsj, it fails as well due to graphics application with a system notice
after shutting off the game. Bust in 90 % of the case it just shuts my whole computer off.

I have a similar kind of problem. I can play PES6 without any problems on my computer but DSJ3 causes the computer to shut down unexpectedly. It seems to happen while calculating the computer ski jumpers' results.

I have an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ processor (1,67 GHz), 1 GB of RAM and a Connect 3D Radeon 9600 Series display adapter.

I have tried the game on 1 024 * 768 and 1 680 * 1 050 (my Windows desktop resolution) resolutions, but it doesn't seem to make any difference... It shuts down with both of these settings. Any ideas?

EDIT: I have also tried both settings 16 bpp and 32 bpp... no difference there either.

It would help Jussi if you activate Bluescreens. Instead of showing you the message your PC just restarts.

Are all drivers up to date?
