CTD when completing a wonder

[MattJek]

I keep having CTDs or complete system restarts about 50% of the time whenever I complete a wonder. I have to restart and reload the game once or twice when this happes in order to continue my game. Id appreciate any tips on how to solve this.

Patch V1.52 released last night, you should load that asap (not yet absolutely clear if V1.09 Patch is a pre-req, so make sure you have loaded that first, patch should be accumilative but you never know until its stated explicitly) - its looking good so far. Access via your game update option in the game menu. Details on the Civ IV forum home page.

Thanks Zydor, but unfortunately I already downloaded the patch and had a crash on a game that I started after downloading the patch

If your systems is rebooting all by itself, there is a real good chance that you have a hardware problem.

Windows will sense it and reboot in an attempt to avoid damage to the system. Problem with that is you cant locate the problem cause it avoids the blue screen of death which will give u a location of the problem.

you can shut the reboot off to get a blue screen. Wont fix anything but it will point to the problem at least.

start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced tab -> the Settings button in the Startup/Recovery section -> uncheck Automatically Restart option

your video card, indicated by a driver called nv4_disp.dll. Another potential suspect is your sound card, alcxwdm.sys. Before you try any of the following, see what comes up in your BSOD.

If you still get reboots after you shut off windows reboot, then you more than likely have a bad power supply.

Why is it only rebooting/crashing when it gets to Wonder videos?
