    This happens to me too. After 20 to 25 mins of playing, bam. It dies.

    Dell Inspiron 1410
    Processor: Intel Core2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
    RAM: 2.00 GB

    running Vista SP2

    And the computer isn't hot.

    How do you know that.

    How do you check your computer's RAM? And if your computer isn't hot when it restarts, then what is the problem?

    There is a thermeter in the desk for some crazy reason, the laptop is over it and it never gets above 30-35 degrees... I dunno, is that hot?

    @Physics3000

    Go to your desktop, you probably have an icon that says 'My Computer' or 'Computer', right click the thing and press 'Properties' and it's on there.

    That is not the processor temperature.

    What is so hard about doing what I asked you? You want help, I am offering you it. Just do as I say.

    Now that I know how to check my computer's RAM without downloading anything, how do I check my computer's temperature? Do I still need to download a program from the Internet?

    Yes, unless you have helicopter parents that think everything that people download is a virus.

    I am just curious of something. Why don't your computers restart when you're playing TPT? If they do restart, how long after you start playing do they restart?

    It doesn't.
