I'm afraid the solution isn't quite that easy. I have removed all the mods. I've also deleted ALL of my Saved games that were played with the mods installed. In fact, I totally erased everything in my BG SoA folder, then Un-Installed BGII, then went back into my Program Files and even deleted the empty folder titled "BG SoA".

After doing that, I did yet another fresh install of BGII (SoA and ToB). Once installed, I downloaded the official Bioware Patch and the Baldurdash Fixpack and nothing else.

I then tried to create a new character just for a "test run". I was going to play BGII with NO Mods. If that worked, I was going to add one Mod at a time and test each of those before downloading the next one. But my PC buggered up again and started rebooting the machine again on a regular basis. I wasn't even able to finish the character generation for the new game. The game kept freezing or the PC would crash before I finished rolling stats for the character.

I don't know WHAT'S wrong with the machine. I don't know if it is a problem deep in the programming or Windows. Or if I have an infected copy of BGII from eBay. While the CD's look the same, I did notice that the primary color on the labels is cyan blue instead of gold like the labels on my other copy of BGII (Collector's Edition).

Does anybody know if there are any "issues" with the blue label CD's? The PC seemed to be working fine after I got it out of the shop this time. I had even given them a game to test the machine with Dragon's Lair 3D. It's graphics are much more intense than those of BGII and the game worked fine according to the tech. I didn't have any problems with the machine until I installed BGII on the machine again with this new set of CD's. And it didn't start crashing and rebooting again until after I had done two complete Un-Installs and Re-Installs of the game last night.

So I don't know WHAT the problem is. All I know is that I'm about to save money on a haircut, because I'm close to just pulling my hair out all by myself!
