Me Too - Client causing Reboot

[Cambo]

Since Mod 5 I have had reboot issues after being ingame for about 5 mins.....everything freezes (Might still hear voice chat for 5 seconds) then my system reboots.

It will do this 1ce or twice in the first miniutes of loging in then it seems to bo okay for the next several hours until I finish and come back the next time log in 2-5 mins...reboot...

...This Has happened prior to Mod 5 but only 1-2 a month if that (About mod 3 it started) Now it is REGULAR - every session - I have had it happen on my 2 bards. (All I have played lateley)

I do not have to be doing anything much (checking auction)

Annoying when I log in, join a group enter an dungeon get my buffs and bam - reboot - 2-3 mins of group waiting for me to return and I have no buffs anymore...

I have had other members of groups mention it has been happening to them since mod 5

No other application or game causes a reboot on this sytem.

Could you post your Dxdiag and possibly the software error report section of your msinfo?

Hi Karch,
Thanks for taking time to look into it.

Still happening during the first 5 mins of login...crash full system reboot then I log back in and it seems right for hours.

Had a crash 10 mins before creating these files but did not seem any indicator of a probelm at that time.

Info and DxDiag Files

I looked over your Dxdiag and system Info

My main concern

Disk & DVD/CD-ROM Drives

Drive: C:
Free Space: 9.1 GB

Drive: D:
Free Space: 5.1 GB
Model: WDC WD2500KS-00MJB0

Drive: E:
Free Space: 30.7 GB

You need to free up some space on your drives

The C drive is your main drive and it only has about 9.1 GB.
The D drive is even worse at 5.1 GB followed by the other two F,I

Some of your Motherboard Driver are from Date of about 2001, try to see if you can find updated drivers for all Hardware on your system.

There are other things I have noticed but cant remember what they were. It looks like you have 3 different users for this computer.

It might be better to move everything that you want to save(important info) to one Harddrive. and do a reformat of another hard drive or partion and and do a clean install.

You can make this easier if you plan ahead and download all drivers first and save them to a safe spot and you can even copy the DDO files and put them in a safe spot and then just replace them when you finish with a clean install of windows.

Thanks for the advice.
The problem is painful enough that I may try a clean reinstall soon

I am unsure on you comments on low free space...
I thought 9GB would have been ok on the C: (Where the application is installed)

I guess temp files could be getting big these days...2-5 GB...still 4GB left in that case...

and the system is reboot/crashing on clean reboot of computer, close most memory resident services/apps then open DDO ...5 mins then bam...hardly enough time to fill the available hdd with temp files...once it crashes and restarts it seems to run for several hours...until I log off.

I will advise results when/if I get a chance to reinstall...

PS the motherboard was a new model in 2004/5 and I downloaded the latest drivers at the time.
