N4 dumps back to windows

All of a sudden, N4 dumps me back to windows or reboots in the middle
of a race.  I can't think of anything I installed or changed that
could cause this.  I reinstalled the game, the 4.1.1 patch, and
direct-X 8.  Nothing helps.  The last time I tried it, I got onto the
backstretch for a qualifying run when the computer suddenly rebooted.

Any help will be appreciated.

David....

Your system specs would be helpful, including which operating system you are
using and all drivers for mobo, video, sound and chipset (if you can find
that out).  Also, this could be caused by a weak power supply.....the boot
occurring when the hard-drive kicks in to access the swap file?  Its
possible...but so are many other things.

Everything worked fine for months; this just started yesterday.
Happens at random times.  Sometimes on the track qualifying, sometimes
a lap or 2 into a race, sometimes in the garage.  I'm wondering about
heat related probems.  It was 90 yesterday, 95 where the computer is.
Funny thing is, everything else works fine.
