| | My system will run games like Call of Duty 4 and JointOps most of the time. But sometimes it just reboots in the middle of the game. No error message, just a restart. I use an nvidia video card. I hear that their drivers have problems in Vista? I know there is an option in Vista to turn off reboot on error. But this is set NOT to reboot after an error. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. |

Yes, there have been LOTS of problems with games in Vista, many of them due to video drivers. Both ATI/AMD and Nvidia keep cranking out new Vista drivers practically on a weekly basis. So, at least they're trying to fix the problems.
Since I don't user CoD4, I don't know of any particular problems with that game other than it demands lots of resources. Thus, apart from crashes due to code problems in the game, if you're not getting a BSOD (and you said your machine is set to NOT reboot on system crash), my bet would be on power supply problems or heat related problems -- especially if it doesn't crash during normal usage.
There are gamers that visit this forum regularly, perhaps they can contribute to this.

| Another thing that may be wrong is that a shortcut is restarting windows. Try and check to make sure no shortcuts for restarting windows are set, if so remove it.
