[RESOLVED] Have a network, computer restarts on playing Warcraft 2 or other games

[Maximilion]

Okay, i have a two computer network...
My main one is an Athlon 900mhz w/ 128MB ram.
30 gig hard drive..win me
my second computer is an hp pavilion 6830
that is a celeron 700 with 64mb ram and 20.0 gb hardrive
Here is what happens...
I start up a game like usual and choose IPX..
my friend joined my session..
after 3 minutes into the game, the HP computer suddenly restarts...and i can't figure out why..i checked power schemes, protocols, and everything...im stumped

Dump IPX and use either the NetBEUI or TCP/IP protocol instead. Maybe that'll fix the problem... http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smilies/cwm17.gif

http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smilies/cwm15.gif I've had a lot of problems with Hp computers restarting on me. It might not be the lan or protocol at all. In fact, as you may already know games tend to be labor intensive on the processor, raising the temp of it. If you are not afraid of voiding any warranties, you might try opening up your 700 and checking the cpu fan making sure that all wires are clear of the blades and that the fan is functioning properly. Keep me posted.
