Call of duty 4 shuts down computer Starvoyager 11/29/2008 6:25:01 PM Call of duty 4 modern warefare. alienware area 51 notebook win xp home. pent 4 3 gz 3 gigs ram direct x 9 nvidea ge force 6500. After I start the program and select a new game or resume from a previous one Im looking at the game screen and it appears to be working normal. then... then machine shuts down. doesnt crash just turns off like I hit the power button. Ive never seen this happen with any other program and it only happens with call of duty. I thought it could be that Im pressing a key combination thats causing it but it happens all by itself without pressing any keys. I dont have any power profiles that goes into standby or hibernation. I didnt find any info relating to this on the activision website. has anyone heard of this or have any insight? Greg
