Graal restarting my computer

Neonight · #1 08-08-2003, 12:29 AM

Well, when I'm playing Graal, it randomly either closes Graal or restarts my computer. I'm not sure why, but I do know it's annoying. Most of the time, Graal just closes, but sometimes it completely restarts my computer. This only happens when I'm playing Graal. ;\ Does anyone know what's causing this? It's been doing this for the past two or three Graal builds.

The golden rule: check your drivers ._.

My drivers are all up-to-date. They're not the XP drivers, either. They're drivers from the manufacturer. Since it's not happening with any other programs, I'm sure it's Graal. I think having the problem only while playing Graal sort of leads me to believe the problem is with Graal itself.

A-bit motherboard (Too lazy to go find the specific model. I'll find it if you want, but it's not needed.)

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.667 GhZ
512 megs of DDR RAM
Radeon 8500 LE 128 meg DDR
Windows XP Professional Edition

I'm pretty sure that's all that's needed. The same thing was happening to a friend of mine while he was trying to play it. I'm thinking it's XP. Does anyone else with XP have this problem?

i have xp and it doesn't just close graal or restart my computer...
Graal runs slower on xp though then when i had ME....
ugh but sometimes out of nowhere i'll get some stupid error but its like a pop up then when i click ok it automatically closes graal -_-

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

I'd try all three. Maybe one will solve your problem...Maybe not...It's just worth a try.

I'll try them later, then. If it still doesn't work, I'm not going to bother. The only server I play is Classic anyway.
