Unexpected Restart

Good work. Keep us posted.

If there is another crash see if it yields the BSOD crash file to post up according to the instructions in that link.

Or you can try the Repair Install or even better the Clean Install which should get you past all difficulties as it has hundreds of thousands of others who have followed the steps in this link and never come back to report another problem:

Unexpected Restart

Hello,

We need log files(called dump files) that tell us what lead to crash.

Please share them with us for a better analysis of the problem. Instructions can be found here:

Hello joshescue18 Welcome to the Ten Forums!

For this type of problem it could prove to be any number of things such as a failing power supply getting pulled down from a weak cap, the cpu is getting a bit too warm during a gaming session, a drive is showing signs of wear, or if this may be a bug in the game if this is a mod you downloaded by chance from the moddb.com site for Steam?

I tend to suspect it could hardware related however for seeing it cause a full restart over simply freezing up solid on you which would be more typical with mods from the site there as well as with anything Steam driven! For this type of problem where you have provided the information from the Event Viewer I can point you to the appropiate Forum: BSOD Crashes and Debugging however. That will let the crash specialists here at TenF have a go at it! *Smile
