Could be overheating. Do you know what your temps are?

I actually have a similar problem and I think it's actually PunkBuster tweaking out on you. Sometimes mcaffee determines punkbuster to be a Trojan (?), so it freaks out on me and makes 2142 start stuttering like hell and making high pitch squeals at me, forcing a reboot.

I'd just tell your Firewall software to block PnkBustrA.exe from running since PnkBustrB.exe actually seems to work for me.

I forgot to add. That sometimes the game closes out and tells me that pnkbstrB.exe has stopped working so i have to restart....temps are like...59 idle and 88 playing.

WOW, that's hot man... clock down please. And yea, Punkbuster keeps fricking up my 2142 sessions and I hate it! EA needs another patch!

88C is normall. as unoverclocked its like 84C

Happens all the time. It's some instability within the game itself, not your computer. Don't sweat it too much, it's EA's fault
