What happens when it returns to the menu? Screen go black? Sound stuttering? Do you notice anything triggering it?

just taking a stab to help give you some trouble shooting ideas: bad ram stick? corrupt game file on hard drive, if it came with a cd then try to reload it.

Tried reinstalling it same thing if not ill more now. Still resetting on its own whenever it wants to. So frustrated. Could it be that I need a new power supply? How would I know. And what is a video card. Heard it could be that also. Please help thanks

When it resets does everything shut down and restart or does everything stay on but it kicks you back to the attract mode? If it has a pc in it and it shutsdown or resets it should be very obvious: it would take a long time to get back to the main attract mode and you may even see things like post messages from the pc motherboard. That would probably be a different issue then the game randomly taking you back to attract mode within a matter of a couple seconds of when you were in game.

Hi. My Madden season 2 is doing the same thing. After selecting teams and selecting play game it goes right back to the start screen. Any ideas ?
