Quake 3 Arena is causing my Computer to Reset

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Everytime I try to join a multiplayer game online it causes my computer to reset and it has to do the disk scan thing before loading up.

 

I have Widows XP and had it when I bought the game and it worked fine before.

 

I have DSL internet.

 

I bought Quake III Gold awhile back and haven't updated it yet.

 

What's causing this?

Not sure. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling Quake. Have you updated your video card drivers recently? That may help.

I downloaded the Quake update and it fixed it.

Nevermind it's doing it again. It's when I log onto a multiplayer game.

That happens to me when I play counter-strike, but I don't know how to fix it, so I just play, and when the computer resets I play agian

Could be your power supply, I'd have that problem (except mine would freeze usually) I got a stronger power supply and it fixed it.

But it's never done it before. I used to be able to play online all the time on Quake and Half Life.
