When I start a game like Dungeon siege II or Guild Wars, my comp restart. I tried to google it and found that I need to uncheck the Restart thing in my recovery tabs. The point is that it's not even cheked and it reboot! It never happen to me b4 when i was using Guild war. You got any ideas?

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus and Firewall.

Look like it is the new update for the wmi file that crash my game...

call me crazy, but I´ve never done any windows updates since SP1....

but I have less problems than all people with fully patched systems I know.
those updates may be useful for people who click on every link they see, open every email attachment they get, don´t know how to disable useless services and have no idea how to configure a firewall. but if you established your own system settings different from the default ones those updates mess up your system...that´s why I´ve quitted getting updates (um,besides another reason of course *coughs*), and since then I never had any problems again....

I think i fix it... If it is, it was simply that the security center couldn't found my antivirus so i checked the: I have a AntiVirus...

I just format

yeah,sometimes it´s better to format than to search days for an error..

I hope you skipped SP2 this time...

Yeah but guess what? It use to happen again... I tried to change my video card and VOILÀ. My old GForce 4 will do the job for the moment... at least until I end up with a shotgun in the www.bfgtech.com institute....

that used to happen to me and it was a RAM problem (only when i had both sticks in) but seeing it works with older drivers it doesn't look like thats the reason.

Do you have the latest motherboard drivers? a few times using the drivers out of the box and not using the most recent ones has caused me alot of pain.
