abnerdog Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 All of a sudden when I log on to play COD4 after about 30sec or so my computer just shuts off completly. It only does it when I am playing COD4. It does not do it when checking email or in forums. Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks Abs.

Master! Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 it's possible your pc will be overheated. or your internet card has a failure. I know this becaus 1 of my friends had this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abnerdog Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 I would think that if it was the card, then it would fail during all internet items not just COD4. Do not think it is overheating, all my sensors show good and all fans working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichrist Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Possible video card driver problem? I would update the drivers for your chipset from the manufacturer's website, to be sure they're functioning properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master! Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 oké but if you wanna check you temp of the cpu and stuff you can dwnload hwinfo 32 http://dl.cdn.chip.eu/downloads/70414/hw32_311.370.zip?cid=1012365&platform=dcu&1316182028-1316189528-bfda43-B-de2f4a525c88e9e93a742a69ff45354a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Does it crash on other games too? Measuring the temperature is nice, but you need to test it during load (i.e., gaming), otherwise it's just plain useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abnerdog Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 I think it was my Norton that had things screwed up. It was trying to download updates but could not for some reason. I think that and the game caused the crash. Thanks to all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that and the game caused the crash. Thanks to all your help. This is not the first time I've heard of Norton screwing up a PC. This happened to my father's laptop a couple months ago, and made it completely inoperable until Norton was removed, and then it worked fine. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontShootMe Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 When it comes to anti-virus software, Norton is the lazy Wal-Mart greeter of the security world. It might tell you something is happening but won't actually do much to stop it aside from cause confusion and cause far more problems than it solves. Be careful about looking for other anti-virus software though. You CANNOT run two different anti-virus programs on your machine. Once the second is installed, the two will spend all their time and all the cpus resources attacking each other. Also, never get any anti-virus software through a mirror server unless you absolutly trust the host. (many reputable computer repair shops will post anti-virus downloads on their sites that bypass the questionable third parties that like to tack extra crap or immune trojans to the download). I had all sorts of problems running many of my games with Norton and the problems have since vanished now that every trace of norton is gone from my computer.

LA_Kings_Fan Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft...ls/default.aspx And it's FREE ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ow_my_eye Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 A lot more expensive than free, but I've been using Kaspersky and it's not caused me any problems. Expensive, but it gives you three licenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
