I had a micro crack in my motherboard and that causes mini power surges that caused my PC to restart regularly but that happened regardless of whether I played games or did graphics design. So I figured it was a hardware issue with me.

I do believe that your issue is software based as you are only experiencing the issue when playing that specific game.

Hope this helps.
yeah that has been my logic so far as well. just really don't want to download this bloody thing again and then it still doesn't work. so I'm trying to cover all the other bases first
