    After about five to thirty seconds of playing kag my computer always restarts itself.

    my computer can run starcraft 2 and other games but not this? lolwhat?

    Also when its done restarting there are lines across my screen, and the only way to fix the lines is by opening kag again, then closing it.

    I also disconnect like CRAZY when my computer doesn't restart. it is really frustrating and makes me want to urinate cement blocks.

    Get your memory dump and send it to geeks to solve it.
    If you don't want to spend alot of time, just get a new RAM.

    I'm not some computer geek but it indeed seems to be ram problem. And since KAG has some leaks - it RAM usage grows after time, probably exceeds some limit or reaches bad sectors of your RAM memory - BOOM! You've got BSOD.

    Is the only solution to buy more ram?

    I play for extended periods of time with my machine that has 512mb of ram. Safe to say that isn't it, or it doesn't effect everyone.

    But his computer can run Starcraft 2, I think his RAM is fine.

    Doesn't matter what you use, its about what it triggers.

    Use Memtest86+ to find out if there really is a RAM-issue.

    Lol. Nulloid, why do you not even read the webpage :(?

    Why do people always think they can stay lazy and let the other forumers do all the work on support forums? Why should I take my time to tell you where you "find" it and write a helpfully post if you don't even try to click on my link and read maybe the first lines? I mean...it's not that hard...
    But well...relax illu...

    Here is the download-section. Download the "Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO"-file, extract it and burn it to a CD (google how-to). Then make sure your computer boots from your CD-drive first, put that CD in and restart the computer. It should start automatically. Let it do the work for some hours. If you see any errors, you're screwed. Well...your RAM is. Replace it. If you don't see any it doesn't mean there are no errors but that tool doesn't find any which actually is a quiet good result.
    Alternatively you could also download the "Auto-installer for USB Key (Win 9x/2k/xp/7)"-file to use an USB-stick to boot from it. But not every motherboard supports this and the USB-stick needs to be formatted which may suck if you already have some important files on it.

    Are you that addicted to your computer that you can't spare few hours to see if it is healthy? Your business, I guess... you can just wait some time and check out some later version of KAG, maybe it'll be better.
