kenshen:
hey i have a six to seven year old computer that i want to run mame with unfortunately every time i try to run mame the computer resets this does not happen in psx bsnes nestopia or pj64 what can i do?
nick3092:
Any chance it has an nvidia card in it? I vaguely recall there being an issue with newer versions of the driver on xp doing something similar. I think the solution is to keep trying older versions till it stops.
Yenome:
check the event viewer it should tell you exactly what caused the system to restart. like the one before me said it could be driver related.

I have a gforce 7600 with xp what do i do?
lilshawn:
roll back the drivers to older and older versions until it works.
there was some addition to the drivers that broke whatever mame was accessing in the drivers causing the crash.
