Computer crash when play pirates online

[MzMun]

Every time i play and about 15 minutes in my computer restarts. I have updated drivers for graphics card. I am running vista with ati radeon hd 2400 pro. Any suggestions?

Is it possible your computer is overheating? Games like these can be pretty taxing on the CPU and they'll generate more heat than with other applications.

Might want to make sure the computer has good ventilation and all fans are functioning properly.

Definitely sounds like an overheating problem.... friend of mine her Laptop did that (every 15 minutes) - she bought a 'cooling pad' for it and it works perfectly now (has for everal months with no probs)

Yup i noticed when playing potco my laptops fan kicked in alot so i got one of those things that props it up cost me like 20 bucks and it props it up allowing better airflow not to mention brings it up to head hight on me i dont need to bend over to look .

BTW restarting i think is standard protocal for over heating computers and its good it restarts bc if it didnt can you say fried hard drive?
