Well, I don't know that that's your problem, as a network issue shouldn't cause your machine to crash.

Not that I know of anyway.

More troubleshooting~

Since your computer is new, you might have to update some more hardware (the drivers from the cd are out of date most of the time)

Try checking your BIOS version, Video Card Driver version and *maybe* even Windows Update

EDIT: when looking at the log file two things bother me.

Line 884: ddraw.dll: 5.03.2600.2180 Finnish Final Retail 9/15/2004 15:00:00 266240 bytes (problem)

Line 911: dpnhupnp.dll: 5.03.2600.2180 English Final Retail 9/15/2004 15:00:00 60928 bytes (problem)

Well, I have updated all my drivers, BIOS, graphics controllers etc..

I have installed SP3 once, unistalled it because of some problems with windows installer. GW didn't work with SP3 either.

And I have downloaded all updates from windows update.

DirectX Files Tab: Several files (ddraw.dll, dpnhupnp.dll) are old versions, which could cause problems. You should reinstall DirectX to get the latest version
Re-install dx9.0c

pretty sure you can just install right over top of your current one. get the latest DX9c redistribution and install.

Manually replace the .dll files with new ones, now if I could only find that .dll site... why the hell did I never bookmark that!?

Well, you need to get the .dll files from a trusted source (and working source), maybe a member on this forum can give you their ddraw.dll and dpnhupnp.dll files, I would give them to you but I run a 64x version of Windows so they might not be compatable.

Well, that is a trusted (not sure if working) source. But, if someone here would like to give the files, I would be happy.

Im off to sleep, try to figure out some solutions while im away, thanks
