Since the November patch, the game spontaneously reboots my computer when first loading a zone. Once the reboot is complete (even though I just started up the computer), the game will run fine for 15+ hours. Here’s the process:
- Start up computer (note: I can rule out overheating, based upon my computer has only been turned on for 3 mins)
- Load game
- Login a character, and computer instantly reboots
If I stay at the login screen, no issues at all.
NOW after that, the game will run fine for the remainder of the day (15+ hours on weekends). I’ve done all the usual defrag/checks. All drivers are cutting edge updated. I moved the game to a diff hard drive, same issue. Power supply is 1,000 watts. Single video card, no SLI/xfire. i7 newer computer.

Any other games cause this issue to trigger?
I had a system that did this because a couple of the caps on the motherboard partially blew, first reboot would happen about an hour into a game, after reboot it ran perfectly, it got to the point I just left the system running 24/7.
Sounds like a power supply, or mainboard failure.
