Call of duty 2 shuts off my computer

[savage70]

Just bought this game and already having problems. Whil playing, my computer just shuts off completely. I mean power is gone, have to push power button to turn on again. Also sometimes if this doesnthappen my screen just becomes all scrambled up and locks up the system. Any ideas? I am running Windows Pro XP SP1. Card drivers 81.95. Nothing is overclocked.

I am not 100% sure but it could be your PSU. If it has the same problem as the A8N32-SLI Deluxe it might not work very well with Antec PSU's. I have no idea why that is but a real good PSU is recommended to both anyway. I know that the Antecs are great generally but it seems as if they are not up to the task when it comes to the nForce X16 chipset.

I would recommend Seasonic S12 500w or even better the 600w version as they both have been confirmed working really good with both those m/b's.
Other than those OCZ Powerstream 600w has also been confirmed working very well. There were a few other brands too but none of them I had never heard of (they're not even avaible here in sweden).

Considering your setup with that motherboard, 2x7800GTX 512 and the other stuff a Seasonic is recommended anyway.

or it may be a temperature issue.

More likely his GPU overheating.

sounds like a hardware problem, and not the game. Try running another game at the same settings, and see if the same thing happens.

I had kinda the same problem. My problem was that my computer would just totally restart, and when it did, a window would pop up saying "there was a stop error" and it had to do with a device driver I installed. I figured it had to be my video card (ATI Radeon 9800 pro, 128mb), because it was the most recent thing I installed. So I went to the website and downloaded the most recent updates for it, and now everything is fine. So maybe all you have to do is update your video card, or maybe not, but it helped me out anyways.
