As soon as the console begins to move up after connecting to a server, or even starting a lan game, it instantly resets my computer. i have no idea why this happens, i have not had this problem with any other mods. i have tried reinstalling hl but still the problem persists.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it??

Often happens when your cpu is to hot
or bad memory
dont know if its 1 of them in this case
Then come to find out one of my 128MB DDR SD-RAM chips had gone bad and when I replaced it, It ran fine.
Using Athlon XP 1800 (running at 55 degrees, ~60 when hot), GF3Ti200, Gamesurround Muse XL
I play lots of HL mods and not one of them does this. Same with my other games, all fine. Also my computer is very stable and hardly ever hangs or resets.
Whenever I join a game or start a lan game, as soon as the console starts to scroll, I get a blip of sound and then the machine resets itself. Everytime without fail at that precise moment.
This is using the standard config. It must be incompatible with the sound card.

you could also have a virus on your computer. I've seen a similar thing with BF1942, it would run fine untill i tryed to get a server list. like something to do with trying to access the net through the program makes it reboot.
get a virus detector, do a sweep. if u find nothing then i'd say its a heat issue. get a program that monitors your CPU's temp.
I had the same problem with my Savage4 and drivers on XP, as soon as system went to 100% load, it would reset.
Try 98, and see if it helps.
I found your problem! I read somewhere else in these forums, that this sound card was causing people's NS to restart their computers..... I don't know the fix though.... sorry. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
disable your sound card and use integrated and it works... after i had been doing this for a while though i found some new drivers on the hercules site, and now it all works perfect.
Entropic Flux go to www.hercules.com and get the latest drivers it should work.
