Hello folks,

I`d be really grateful if someone could help. Since installing DosBox and Blade of Destiny my other computer has been crashing, rebooting and freezing very regularly, roughly once every 10-15 minutes. Although the computer was experiencing crashing difficulties before, it was usually restricted to once in 5-6 hours. Could it be DosBox? Has any one else had a problem like this? Or think they know how to correct it? Thanks in advance.

I'd be surprised that DOSBox is related to that. I'd rather check first if your computer is not overheating if I was you. DOSBox take a lot of ressources from the computer, and it could be a very good reason why the temperature rise faster.

First thing first: open your case (make certain you are grounded so you don't discharge electricity on a component) and clean the computer from dust (you should be, like everyone else, surprised on how much dust a tower can gather with time). Safest way to do that is to have a soft air outake (they sell presurised air cans made especialy for that, but they are very costly when you consider that you are basiclly buying air in a bottle). Then make sure that all the fans are working when you turn the power on, especially the fan for your power supply.

Probably Eagle of Fire is right.
I just wanna add that usually when DosBox has trouble, it only freeze itself and the windows desktop returns.

Many Thanks Guys,

I`ve taken measures to cool the comp down and it seems to be running fine for now.

On to the next problem. ......
