In the middle of the last two games I've tried to play online, my computer suddenly resets.
Any clue about this?
Doesn't reset any other time on its own.

There're many possible reasons for this but the most likely thing is that your CPU is overheating and causing the computer to reboot. Is the heatsink full of dust?

I'll check up on that, see how it works. Reinstalled Myth and tried it earlier in a single player game with no problems.

OMG... I might have the same problem... At first I thought it was tied in with Myth since most of the crashes happened while on Myth or working on a plugin for Myth. I think I need to backup my files ASAP and reformatt the hard drive.

No problem now. Installed a new copy of Myth, earlier install was placed over a early install.
For some reason now I can alt tab during the loading time and not crash the game now as well as alt tab all I want without losing text.
When game starts though it looks sorta like its crashing, though.

From all the medicine in the last few days and sleeping half the time, not sure if I installed my new modem before or after the clean install.

Ok, problem started again. However I guess I temporarily fixed it instead by using Software for graphics rather than my onboard graphics card.
However, in each game I'm getting spurts of lag that I was getting before.

Possibly graphics driver problems. If it were me I'd remove the drivers and try the version that was installed before.
