hi!
i have trouble getting winquake to work on my win98 pc, the game starts just fine and runs perfectly but when i'm done playing and exit the game, the computer restarts by itself. what causes this and what can i do to fix it?
my specs:
pentium 3 500 mhz
nvidia fx 5200
384 mb ram
soundblaster 16 isa soundcard
windows 98
Check the RAM configurations in BIOS.
A-Trend ATC-1020 V1.1 ❇ Cyrix 6x86 150+ @ 120MHz ❇ 32MiB EDO RAM (8MiBx4) ❇ A-Trend S3 Trio64V2 2MiB
Aztech Pro16 II-3D PnP ❇ 8.4GiB Quantum Fireball ❇ Win95 OSR2 Plus!
should i change it to a lower ammount of ram or something, how much ram do winquake require?
I think that @dominusprog meant that you might want to try loosening the RAM timings in the BIOS.
My guess is that it might be an issue linked to the Nvidia driver version that you have installed and/or the chipset drivers installed (or not installed) if the motherboard uses a VIA chipset.

Yes, try to increase the timing and also as @darry mentioned try a different driver for both the chipset and the graphics card.

Try running WinQuake with the -dibonly command line switch. WinDirect (the default option that uses VGA and VESA video modes directly) is problematic with some video cards and DirectDraw is slower.
VIA C3 Nehemiah 1.2A @ 1.46 GHz | ASUS P2-99 | 256 MB PC133 SDRAM | GeForce2 GTS 32 MB | Voodoo2 12 MB | SBLive! | AWE64 | SBPro2 | GUS
winquake's problematic with all Geforce cards, always use -dibonly with them.
