Computer keeps restarting itself

Specs, plugins, settings?

*edit*
how about a note in the event viewer?
mine doesnt give any errors in there lain:
*end edit*

dont know if this option is built-in in win2k already but with xp theres an option that if the computer locks or gives a bsod (blue screen) it automaticly reboots, maybe this is why it does.

i have a similar problem.
i was happily playing zelda 64, but now when i try to play and i press the start button i get a bsod
i didnt get it before, it was just having trouble with the subscreen (as said in the faqs)

anyone knows a solution? i really like pj64 1.5 but i REALLY want to play zelda 64

Im on this:
AMD Atlhon XP 2200+
2x 256MB DDR SDRAM (PC2100)
MSI KT4 Ultra
Club3D Radeon 9700
Windows XP Pro / DX9 / Catalist 3.0 (updated ones)

i believe that should be enough

i run pj64 as:
All of the included plugins (Jabo's)
Im hiding the advanced settings

video plugin:
D3D HAL
ani filt: 16x
fs res: 1024x768
buffer: triple
window: 800x600

(both windowed and fs i get the bsod)

audio plugin isnt much to do

controls:
see attached file

BSOD:
sometimes its just blue, without any text
sometimes it gives an error on my ati drivers lain:

anyone PLZ help me out here

kyro

i had the same prob , it's the video card ,

FIX

in the display properties put all the 3D Optimisations to ther default settings and try to run it , also if you have overclocked it any , bring it back down some
the kyro doesn't overclock much and gets hot very easy which in turn will restart your PC

hope this helps

Disagree, my old Kyro II ran N64 ROMs just fine with the WHQL 1.6 driver.

There are many 3D hitches that you can run into, the K2's drivers are VERY buggy... part of the reason I switched to a 9500 Pro (no problems with it either! :happy

In any case, yes, K2's drivers have a lot of potential infinite loop catches which will cause 2k (with SP3) and XP to reset without warning.

My best suggestion is to reinstall the driver (if you already have 1.6 WHQL), if not then upgrade to 1.6 WHQL *NOW*.

If that doesn't work, last suggestion is uninstall the K2 driver, reinstall DirectX (whatever version at or above 8.1b you want), then reinstall the K2 driver.

If that doesn't work then I can't help you any farther

how about a solution for me guys?
doesnt anybody know something to fix this?

i didnt have this until reasently, i didnt change anything so thats why i dont understand it.
i can press start in all other games.
i thought maybe because a corrupt savefile orsomething, but when i remove the savegame and start all over it still does it.

anyone??
well im gonna remove everything that has to do with pj64 tonight and reinstall and then try it again.

i even tried different emus, but most just suck and dont run it right at all
why is it so hard? it ran great with emuhq (hey i dont have a 3dfx card so i cant use it, most glodewrappers are not working right, or does anyone know a really good one for my radeon 9700?)

please help me out here?

*off topic question*
are there any plans on further development of maybe even project64 1.6
