John Woo,06/08/05  5:29pm]how you update ???

As for why your computer is restarting, I haven't a clue but I doubt COD is doing it but you say it only happens when you play COD. Maybe a bad Video card or faulty RAM... ?

I checked the logs and you are being kicked for (2) reasons, one is:
Losing Key Packets - Generally I see a lot of users get this when they have already quit the server. Don't worry about this error, it's not a big deal and is probably only happening because of the second error, which is:

General PB Client Authentication Failure
When you get this error, generally the recommended solution is to reinstall PunkBuster however, with the computer restarts your getting, I would recommend a clean install of COD.

To see what version of PB you are running, while in COD hit the ~ key to open the console. Then type:
PB_SV_VER

This will display the version of PB on your computer. The current version for clients is v1.172 A1356.
If you have an older version, you can try to manually update the PB version by typing the following into console:
PB_SV_UPDATE

Sometimes you need to enter that a few times before it will work.

If that doesn't work, you can manually update PB. They've release a program called PBWEB.EXE that will manually update PB.

Click HERE to download the program. Make sure you place this file in your PB folder (The default is C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\pb)
and double-click on the PBWEB.EXE file to execute it. It may take a little while before it begins to update.

You can read more about it HERE.

Post back and let us know how it goes.
