My Computer restart everytime I try to start SIlkroadOnline.

Then The SRO client starts. After a while the Computer just restart without any reason. The game dosen't start.

I also turn off evry unnesecary thing on the computer.

My computer.
AMD 3000+
1024 Mb ram
HIS X850XT
MSI K7N2 Delta2

Spyware.

Sorry to say it, but I think you got some nasty spyware on your PC.
Don't know if that's tru, but if it is, try to find a good remover, or format you PC.

Most of the time when your computer restarts when playing a game, it's caused by your graphics card. Are you sure that your card can handle SRO? If it can, are you sure your not running alot of side programs that you dont need to run? And also, make sure that your using the latest driver updates for your graphics card if your not.

My graphics card can handle it... it works some times... just other most of the time it restarts....

i close every proccess that isnt a system... then run exploerer.exe and start SRO... still restarts....

it should be up to date... but the ones at SRO website wont work for my card... dunno y... i got nvidia i think... (im not much of a hardware person :banghead: )

I recommed running Spybot S&D as well as Ad-Aware, no one program covers all the spyware out there.

Errr... If you don't know which card you got, how can you be so certain that it can handle the game?

Also, have you checked for bad RAM?

im sure it can handle the game becuase i play other games with even better graphics (hl2, delta force: BHD, and more)... but just in case i looked in my display properties and it says 128 DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Sec.... whatever that means :P

btw... theres actually 2 options in display properties... Plug and Play Monitor and (defualt monitor) both with the same radeon thing... should i keep it on plug and play or defualt? oO

Leave it at its present settings.

Check for bad RAM, it can be your problem. Google for MemTest.

Hmmm... open your Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Log Viewer (or something like that.

Check the system logs, and the error logged there. They might point you to the culprit.
