I said in another thread that N2003 rebooted my computer constantly until I
took the cover off the tower. Mjones hans't said yet if he tried a heat
test.

It could be heat, of course, but are you positively sure nothing related
to that Antivirus thing is still loaded? Because I think I read about
one of these AV things that was still running, or some modules of it,
although it had either been disabled or uninstalled, I forget which.
If you've deinstalled it, use a process viewer to check what's loaded.
Other processes than the AV might have a similar effect btw.
When I'm racing, I have only 6 processes running (plus the game). That's
in WinME. Every additional process can cause probs. Especially things
that keep polling or checking something.
You might also want to read:

Select a guide for the OS you're using, and read it. If you're running
XP or 2K, especially the Services Configuration guides may be helpful.

In the end, it turned out to be XP updates that were the root of the
problem. Things worked before the updates; didn't work after. (Of
course, I had done a bunch of other work onthe computer after being
away for several weeks, and I didn't get around to playing GPL until
it was too late to do a recovery back to a pre-update version of the
OS.)
Eventually, MS released some more updates that seem to have fixed the
problem. My GeForce3 card is now reinstalled and I am a happy camper
playing GPL, F1C, FS and several of the mods. You might want to check
with the MS web site and see that you have all the latest updates,
drivers, etc.

I have an Asus motherboard (p4pe) & had rebooting problems with NR2003
also. It was the onboard sound. I disabled it in the bios & added a
Turtle Beach sound card. The problem was solved.
Anyway, if you want to find out if it is a software problem, go to
start, settings, control panel, system, advanced tab, startup and
recovery settings. Uncheck "Automatically Restart". Now the computer
will stop at the blue screen. This will let you see which process
caused the reboot. I have XP pro & this is how I found my problem.
I hope this helps.

Go to the Sierra support site
(http://techsupport.vuinteractive.com/techsupport/sierra/support.asp) and
type "sound" in the keyword.
You will get the complete run down on what to do.
For the short version...
From the Windows Desktop:
-Click START, RUN, and type Dxdiag.
-Click Okay and wait for the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to appear.
Click on the Sound tab and click the Full Acceleration slider back one
notch.
This should fix it if your problem is the same as mine.
Cheers,
Dave
