Very very weird..

When playing for 10 mins or so... it just stops and reboots. No BSD (think i disabled that)

Happened weeks ago. I can say this only arise when i put in a brand new motherboard. Can this possibly be the reason? (HOPE NOT )

It ONLY happens when i run Dota..
leaving pc on 24hrs, playing COD4 for 5hrs straight or CS Source gives zero problems.

Specs :

Athlon X2 3600
1GB DDR2
MSI K9N Neo V3 (Just installed weeks ago)
MSI 256Mb 7600GS
80GB Sata Seagate


i've tried reinstalling graphics driver from stock CD but no avail. (driver from cd is older than wat i currently have).
Tried running memtest86 for 1hour but no errors found.

really out of ideas for this one.. pleease help..
thank you

Warcraft III\Errors

navigate to this folder n try read on or post here the error. usually wud be the date crash.txt.

are you using kaspersky?
i had the problem as well after i sent my board for RMA.
i uninstalled kspersky and used bitdefender and everything went back nornal

Wah, i thought i the only one have this kind of problem, when open dota, after some time, my pc sure will restart, check cpu temp also not high..
Play other game, open 24hour ahem ahem also no restart.. only when play dota =.=

Seems like i use MSI board also, dunno what series, Athlon XP 1800 socket A and i'm using the lame free AVG antivirus... not using kaspersly.

isit the board?

yea i was using kaspersky.. Switchd to Bitdefender hours ago and stil same results. Mysteriosly rebuutss!

@darjana - checked. it doesnt show any error at my time of reboot.


any ideas guys?

maybe need to update BIOS of the motherboard. normally it fix this sort of problem.


as overheat will also have this sort of problem, change a good quality PSU will solve this problem as well. cause i have this problem some times ago. during game play auto-shutdown. after change to a good PSU, problem solve.

try check ur pc isit infected by ravmon.exe trojan, try remove ur pc make it empty and reinstall wif cd , war3 aso dun juz copy the folder .
if problem still appear and u duwan lose ur data, change ur window to window vista , 100% no more restart , tis wat i did previously

@gth - BIOS? hmm..mby but keep as last resort frst. Cuz lots of work le..

Overheating? doubt it.. I tot so too but check temp seems to be 36-40'C .
My PSU brand is CoolerMaster 430W. Shud be stable nuff...

@ravmon.exe? use too...but deleted it already... i guess. Before i use the copy paste folder, i install warcraft3 the proper way.. and occur this prb. So then i try the copy paste folder thinking it will get better but no difference.

In fact i changed/reinstalled warcraft 3 times.

Frst wld be the warcraft originally in my pc for 4 years. Then when prob occur, i download new warcraft from internet and installed this one. Same thing happen.
So i try copy paste folder from Cybercafe wan... same!

try use window vista problem will be solved

lol.. gotta be other way. Vista gonna eat up all my RAM... 1Gb oso gonna crawl le...

haiz...

Try this,
go into warcraft, go options, then click sound then at the bottom of it, you will see the sound provider. If the sound provider show creative labs, click it and choose the others for example dolby sound. Sometimes new motherboards sound driver have this kind of problem cuz the new driver not compatible with war3. Post here if it fix.

YEap! thats what i did... haha actly thers another thread in Lowyat that can solve my prob...

but duno why dint turn up in google when i search for ans haahaa...

feels gud hehe

yup metalslug it works!


thx alot
