My computer likes to randomly restart when I play a certain MMORPG; World of Warcraft.

I don't know why... i'm thinking maybe because it is over heating? I notice my temperature going to around 111F

My specs are

AMD 4200 X2 dual core processor
ABIT Fatal1ty Motherboard
2 gigs of Corsair Ram
Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS
Soundblaster X-treme soundcard
Antec Smart Power supply 500w

It restarts randomly... sometimes it never restarts, and sometimes it'll restart 3-4 times a day. It's really annoying.

check out my quick guide on some common dual core issues in my sig.

I got the problem down... but I don't know how to fix it. I took off 'automatic restarts' and now instead of my cpu restarting, I get an error that says "bad_pool_caller".

But I have no idea how to fix that, if anyone here can help... please :/

ms knowledge base hits http://support.microsoft.com/s...faul..._caller&x=4&y=8' ">http://support.microsoft.com/s...ad_pool_caller&x=4&y=8

it can be a bad or corrupt driver..

any errors than can give a clue in Event Viewer?

Hm... where would I check for errors in event viewer?

It seems to randomly do this when I play games (World of Warcraft).

in control panel, there is Administrative tools. and in there... Event viewer..

assuming you have windows xp /tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

red x's or yellow yield signs when you click on Application or System on the left side

Ah, I have a few. They all talk about net working and TCP / IP.

it may not be that.. unless you are playing the games online?

if you arent playing the games online then it may be corrupt drivers

I am playing the game online actually. It's an MMORPG. But i dunno, would a tcp / ip / net working problem cause my cpu to restart automatically randomly?

what do the errors say?
are the times on the errors the same as when your computer restarts?

Windows saved user \Owner registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

Another is..

TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp' ">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

and another is:

The IP address lease 192.168.1.102 for the Network Card with network address 00508DD93BDA has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.1.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).

as for these going off at the same time as restarts.. im not sure

well for the sake of ruling out a TCP problem.. 2 things
Run these 2 programs.
1. Advanced Windows Care http://www.iobit.com/WindowsCare.htm' ">http://www.iobit.com/WindowsCare.htm
this will fix dozens of settings that are often messed up, including networking settings.
2. then run TCP Optimizer http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php' ">http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php to make your internet connection faster as well as home network. Just hit Optimize, apply changes, and reboot
