Init Engine - Geforce 7800 GT - Athlon X2 4200

[OkydOky]

I can not load the Civ 4 Game..
When the loading reaches "Init Engine" my mouse diissapears and my computer stops responding, After some time I get a nice blue screen for a second or so and then computer reboots.
I have also tried unpacking the file - (the ATI problem) - with no change.
I am running the Latest drivers for my Nvidia GeForce 7800GT.

I am running a Practically Fresh install of WinXp Pro SP2,
With a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, a DFI lanparty UT, a geforce 7800GT

Anything else?

Well not much there worth mentioning.

Reboot and not ctd and not a freeze up.

Hardware malfunction?

Windows reboots when it senses that hardware could damage the system.

You need a bluescreen of death to find out where its comming from.

Wont solve anything but it will point to the hardware in question.


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 a reboot after you turn that off, then you could have a bad power supply.
