Thanks, pvtkramer, it is a great game, I lost my original cd key, so I had to buy the game again. This is a new video card, nvidia 6200 PCI 256MB. I've got the latest driver, 84.21. I got into the first single mission, and got about 2 minutes into it when the game froze and my pc rebooted. I will see about lowering all prefrences and what happens.
Update: I no longer get the original message. The game starts fine, but reboots my system after just a few moments in-game. I reinstalled the game, rebooted, patched 1.96, rebooted, but this new problem remains. Any ideas?

is it a reboot to the blue screen of death or just a clean reboot to windows?
I was thinking virus, but if you're getting the bsd, it could be video/sound card related i.e. drivers, you might want to try some older ones, or lighten up on all settings, shadows off, everything normal, not high, and if that clears it, slowly add to it.
Are you running stock GOTY, or have you swapped out files or added mods etc?
Are there other demanding games you play that work? Could be your vid card is getting hot due to a lack of in case cooling.All fans clear of dust etc?

I did too! I mean I lost my Key. I contacted CodeMasters and they gave me a new Key. I'm not sure but I think I called em on the phone. I mean Hey, you have the GOTY edition and Key so explain the situation to them. They were very helpful with me.
You could also try the troubleshooting section of the BIS Forums. Try searching for your problem there.
I'd try Codemasters first.
Did you use Driver Cleaner when you changed NV drivers?

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

I had that problem with restarting - try this: TURN OFF hardware acceleration for your sound card, you can do that by: Start Menu --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Speaker Settings --> Advanced --> Performance --> Set Hardware Acceleration to "None"
