soldat restarts my computer

[momoy]

hello.
a few days ago, i installed soldat in my computer and i played with my friends and we have fun and so on. but, since i have installed soldat, my computer got crazy. the computer restarts itself after an hour or even a few minutes!
so i deleted soldat and the computer didnt restart itself anymore.  but when i installed soldat again, the computer restarts itself again.
so what is the problem?

This is very strange. Make sure your computer doesn't have any viruses (Soldat never comes with viruses or puts them on your computer) and that your video card drivers are up to date.

Does this happen only when you're playing soldat?

Make sure you downloaded the game from a trusted source.

I would recommend doing a virus-scan.

Could be a driver issue if it happens while playing; most likely an audio driver issue (generating BSoD that the system auto-restarts from)

It would almost have to be a driver issue to randomly restart the computer like this.  Make sure you have the latest video and audio drivers available for your system.  If that doesn't help, check all other drivers that you can find.

Does this happen while playing other games as well? I used to have a borked PSU that did the same thing. but with every game I had, not just soldat.

Could be because the PC is overheating.

Yeah my computer overheats and restarts sometimes midgame. I let a stiff UK breeze waft through to prevent it.
