I was playing WCIII when all of a sudden my system just restarts. No warning, no shutdown, it is like the reset button has just been hit. I thought it was a fluke so I tried a few more times, and when I load my save game (Night Elf mission 6) and play for a few minutes it always causes my system to reboot. My WC is fully patched and my comp is running Win XP Pro with all the hotfixes. I checked the event viewer, and every time my comp is restarted the following error message is logged:

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0xcfc), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Any ideas? I have no idea what is causing this error, other than it is something that WC is attempting to do that causes the crash.

Looks like a sharing conflict. Either that or a video card problem. Can you please post your PC specs?

Go to PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS and run System Information. Then double click on Hardware resources and Conflicts/Sharing. Give it a sec and copy and paste what it shows.
