I'm playing KOTOR2 and I get to an intensive part of the game, such as entering a battle or entering a scripted scene, and the computer freezes big time. The screen turns off as if the computer has stopped transmitting data and my modem stops transmitting data at the exact same time. Alt F4 and Cntrl-Alt-Del do not respond, the system has completely shut down.
I have to turn off and on the power in order to force a restart so that I can use my computer again.
What's going on?
Pentium 3.2
Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 (67.66 driver)
Direct X 9.0c
Every other game on my system works fine (Demon Stone, Bloodlines, WB3, Doom 3, Punisher, etc).
