i just finished my first map and then once i loaded halo ce and started playing on it after about 3 mins my computer just shut down. it didnt even say like windows is shuting down, it just completely went black and shutdown. so then i started it again and once it was in the windows is loading part it shutdown again. i kept trying to start it and then after 4 tries it loaded up again, has this happened to anyone else because of a halo ce map???

feel around for excessive heat. if your laptop is too hot, there's a feature that will automatically turn off your computer. my laptop was doing the same. it turned out that a heat sink on a chip was improperly placed, so it was getting too hot.

i doubt it has anything to do with your map. your hardware has a problem.

My desktop had the same problem rendering stuff with lots of lights in 3ds max. Got a new power suply and now it doesn't shut off randomly.
