I have created a battle game that is played on a hexagonal grid. My computer frequently shuts down when I am playing this game. Just before shutting down I get this message.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
problem detected - windows shut down to prevent damage...
physical memory dump begining

It only happens when I am playing my zillions game. With other zillions games I havent run into this problem.

Does anyone have a way to fix this?

I don't believe the problem you are experiencing has anything to do with the programming of a particular Zillions game, it's much more likely that your computer has a problem and this particular game just happens to exercise your computer in such a way as to make the problem occur.

According to:

It could be a hardware or a software problem. Make sure you have installed the most recent service pack for your operating system. You might also make sure your display driver is up to date.

Good luck.
