Basketcase Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 its an error with the pc. without knowing what the error was its hard to know why it rebooted. I'd guess it was to do with the graphics driver though. post your specs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketcase Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 ok. lets see what graphics card you've got. click the start button then click run and type in dxdiag and hit enter. When the window appears press the tab at the top that says display. Now, where it says "chip type" you'll see the name of your graphics card eg geforce xxxx. post that.
