I HAD a rebooting problem with my
athlon 1800+
soyo dragon plus mobo
512 ddr ram
I am using the onboard sound and lan
when trying to load the v2 map in multiplayer, it would get to 75 % (estimated) and reboot my pc by itself.. no BSOD, no nothing, just reboot,,,
tried new sound drivers, new vid drivers, i tried EVERYTHING,,,
I had given up on the game, I had wanted since I got the mobo, to put my HD's on the promise ultra 100 channel, instead of the primary IDE, so I did that today... when i went back into the game and for shits and giggles tried to load the v2 map, IT WORKED!!!
i restarted the pc , just in case it was a fluke, and lo and behold I was able to load the map EVERYTIME now...
I dont know what was fixed, as I had no problems with any other game but this one, but...It just goes to show ya, anything can cause problems.
If you have a pc that has another set of ide channels besides the primary and secondary like I do, try switching the hd's to it and see what happens..
like I said, I am non-typical of the problems people are having, but this is what fixed mine...
good luck to you all, and see you on the battlefield...
just a suggestion too,,,if you know the manufacturer of the motherboard, give that too...
in case there are issues with sound cards in certain pci slots,
MYM out.....

I've been dealing with the same problem for week or two.
System:
amd 1.333 (asus a7m266)
WinXP Pro
512 MB RAM pc2100 ddr
Hercules Geoforce 2 Ultra 64mb
SoundBlster Live MP3
2 HDs (60g+100g)
Tried all nvidia drivers from 21.81 to beta 27.10. I uninstalled ACPI so I can separate IRQs for sound and video. I increased AGP driving all to "F" in BIOS. Changed amd761 to AGP bridging to PCI to PCI bridging. Played MOHAA from safe mode to 1600X1200 with all maxed out... could not find any patern... the game has 1.1 patch installed .
I feel I did all I could on my side - it seems that the game has a bug or I am crazy... It randomly crashes to desktop w/o sound in the loop and WinXP dialog box about sending the problem to Microsoft. Is there a way to log the problem?
Why would it chrash in the safe mode???
BTW WRTC and SS2 run w/o a problem and WRTC has the same Quake 3 engine.
Maybe the problem is not the video - maybe it is the sound - I have the latest driver available
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing here.
AMD T-Bird 1.33 Gig CPU
ELSA Gladiac GeForce 2 Ultra 64mb videocard
Soundblaster Live 5.1
ASUS KT7A Mobo
Sometimes MOH doesn't lock up sometimes she does. Hasn't done it once in SP full version UNTIL I completed the Nerfer Mission now she's doing it again.
SP and MP demos locked up non-stop on my box.
Same problem as many of you described above... total screen freeze, music/sounds go into a loop... no other option but to reboot cold out into Scandisk hell.

It seems that you are not running WinXp...
My computer crashes only to the desktop so I can be back in the game within minute or two.
I am not sure wheather we can eliminate WinXP as cause since you have the same symptoms and you do not have WinXP...
Lets see.

I am NOW running the game on an AMD XP 1800+ with windows XP pro, with no problems, as in my post in the first page of this thread, I was having rebooting problems, where the pc would reboot by itself, I have fixed that by moving my HD's to the 3rd IDE channel instead of the 1st...
since 2 days ago when I fixed the problems, I have been running nightly for over 4 hours each night, my geforce 3 overclocked to 525 memory, and 225 core,,with absolutely no crashes whatsoever....
At first I took the AMD, VIA thing seriously, but take a GOOD look at what most people have in their rigs,,, CL live, or audigy....There is no EAX in the game, and I think that is what the problem is,,, the card is having a hard time reverting back to 2d sound, and causing the lockups....
I am running a soyo dragon plus motherboard, using the onboard c-media sound chip, and I have not had any of the problems you all were having.... mine , like I said,, was non-typical of what everyone else was encountering..
so I am convinced it is an issue of the miles fast 2d positional and the audigy, live series of cards...
MYM out.....

My MOB is A7M266 and it has the latest BIOS 1.005...
The same goes to the video card...
There isn't a thing I did not tried - it has to be a compatibility issue which can be fixed by designer only !!!
Is there a AMD + WINXP owner that runs the game without the problem?

Interesting...
Is there a way to disable EAX at least to test it and see wheather that's the culprit.
Thanks for your observation.

I run it fine with WinXP + AMD + SBLive. Two things I did to my system that seemed to help all games:
1. Disabled ACPI (AMD + XP + ACPI = GARBAGE).
You can do this from device manager under "Computer". Just updated driver to "Standard PC". One caveat is that none of the power management crap works properly. You should also disabble ACPI in the BIOS as well.
2. As mentioned above I made certain my Sound Card had its own IRQ. This is imperative when dealing with 3D sound...even on XP, a system that normally supports non-unique IRQ's.
If those two don't work, I'm out of ideas. This article might help you out.

I finnaly worked around the poor performance issue by disabling complex shadows, which isnt an obvious solution, but now I get this sound loop crash! There is no pattern, it simply stops, and the sounds loop. No amount of ctrl-alt-delete can stop it, pressing esc does nothing, only rebooting solves the problem. (if you can call that a solution). I read a post about sblive! compatability issues...maybe its simply something they need to patch...cuz I'm at a loss!

My SBLibe mp3 5.1 is on unique IRQ and I already disabled ACPI - so I can separate the devices on the different IRQs. That's not the problem.
Yesterday I tried with the newest Nvidia drivers 27.20 - did not help either.
So lets keep watching....
