If you bother to read this, you might wanna grab a chair...
Gentlemen, my little brother (Slayer) tried to download missionary this evening but when it was downloading, the entire comp crashed. Now this lil' shit has had some problems. It was first my mom's business comp until she said  that because of it's dependability to crash, and got a new one. Slayer then inherited it and has been using it for about a month. It has crashed mutliple times until he called e-machines, the compueter company, ( ) and they pulled a system reboot, which wiped EVERYTHING from it. He then played MOHAA and it crashed again in time (not sure how long). My mom talked with e-machines and did something again yesterday, and he got on today and it was fine. BUT, he was downloading Missionary because he didn't want to be called a hack. It, unbeleivably, crashed during the download phase. He downloaded it again and he couldn't get into G'fellas #1 because it kept saying "Server Disconnected" Then, it crashed and then crashed again when he ran miss a 2nd time.  WTF is going on? He's getting real pissed and I dont know what the deal is. Any advice or help?BTW, he cleared Missionary from the NORTON Anti-Virus block list (i think). I know that you probably can't completely diagnose his problem, but i figured RD or Druid are the MIssionary and MOHAA gods and might have atleast a vague idea of WTF IS GOING ON??? We are gettin gnowhere with e-machines...   --------------------  |

Before I can offer any real help I need a little more info.
To start what are the machine specs? Also he needs to start missionary Goto tools/utilities>tools>run test Report back any errors while running the test. Also have him email me tlog.txt and mlog.txt You can find both of these in the C:\missionary directory. -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |

All right, Druid, I'll try and get you the stuff by tonight. What do you need other than those 4 or 5 things? i MIGHT be able to get all of them., but i dunno. I know its got a Pentium 4 off the top of my heaad. It's like an E-machine that isn't even a year old.
BTW, the comp didn't exactly crash, it just kept restarting like a  -------------------- |

Does it restart or shutdown? Maybe the computer turns of but lights stay on?
Sounds like it may be a hardware issue. Is this what it's always been doing? Even before Missionary and/or gaming? The first thing that pops into my head if its shutting down is overheating. Crack open the case and look inside to see if ALL fans are turning (including the power supply but most importantly the cpu fan). Power supply may be your next concern. Check to see what the wattage is. E-machines are notorious for putting in very small power supplies. If its 230-300 watts its probably too small. For Pentium 4 and gaming I would recommend at least a 350 Watt. These are just theories. I will try to rack my memory to see If I can recall any other possible probs but right now my mind is drawing a blank. Good Luck --------------------  "Difficulties come and they pass, but it is a shame that sometimes these difficulties must pass like diarrhea" |

The computer justs automatically resarts. I think it has always been like that, the raging P.O.S. that it is...
 That's why my mom dumped it on my brother and got a new one... BTW, my brother is gonna try and get the specs. -------------------- |
