This should be in Need Help? Report Bugs! but I'm nice today so I'll help you out.

It sounds to me like your video card is overheating. Could you give me a little more information, such as your system specifications, like your RAM, CPU Speed, and most importantly, Video card.

Expect this thread to be moved, so if you can't find it later, look in the aforementioned, BOLDED section of the forum.

ive got 256mb ram, Nvidia Geforce4 MX 440-SE (64mb memory) , 2.4GHz
Thanks

Make sure your power-saving options are off, just to make sure. Also, ensure that you have the latest drivers with Anti-Aliasing DISABLED - OR - and older set of drivers with Anti-Aliasing ENABLED.

Do you have any way to measure the temp inside your tower?

how do i check if i have Anti- Aliasing Enabled?

Do u think it might be overheating cause i leave my comp on 7 hours+ a day?

It could be the problem, if your computer can't take it.

I had this problem twice before. One time it was my motherboard. It had fried and it came to a point where as soon as I started my computer, it would shut off. The second time, it turned out to be my power supply. This might be a more reasonable reason for your computer's shut-downs. If your power supply is messed up, your comp will shut off every now and then when you run videos or video games.

I suggest that if Lapis can't help you out, take your computer in to be checked out. Hopefully you have a warranty or something.

Edit: By the way, use the [IMAGE] button next time to edit your post instead of posting twice in a row.

ok. thanks big help :D

Triad, your monitor might also turn off because it doesn't support the resolution and/or refresh rate Soldat is trying to use.
To avoid this, try using windowed mode instead of fullscreen.
You can change those settings (along with anti-aliasing) by opening "config.exe" in your Soldat directory.

i had this problem before, check that the little extremly crap fan that comes with a geforce 4 is actually spinning and not clogged up with dust and [IMAGE]

if it isnt that play in windowed mode
