Gooood morning...
A friend of mine wanted to play ET again after a good time away from the game.
now he says that after 5 to 10 minutes of playing, the entire computer just crashes.. and this happends every time.
has anyone else had the same problem? any solution?

The computer can crash because of several reasons.
Not enough Ram, overheating, virus, O/S has some broken files and dont seem to harmonize with ET (:P)
Run something like Tune up utilities to clean up your computer at first...
Tell him to delete all ET files and uninstall the game again. Then he should install the ultimateinstallpack of ET, which you can find in the Tutorialsection. Help him with the installprogress. Maybe he is installing it on a wrong place or whatever... Then try to run ET. When was the game crashing? While connecting to a map? Ingame? On maps like radar with less fps or maps like supply with good fps? Maybe it is because of the config?
No idea if it has something to do with my points, but just try it out. Maybe it works.
Open pc and clean out fans on vidcard and cpu etc. If the problem persists, install some temperature monitoring tool such as speedfan or so to find out what hardware component is overheating.
Had the same a couple years ago. My vidcard's fans were full of dust and crap. After cleaning that out the temperature stayed within normal ranges and the pc didn't crash anymore.
what about you sir?
