Why is it sometimes if I go to exit AW it restarts my computer? I blue
screen comes up and then it restarts itself.

And away we go:

Is there a .DLL, .OCX, or other file that is mentioned when the blue
screen appears? If so, what is it?
What video card are you using?
What version of Windows are you using?
Have you cleared your cache?
Have you run scandisk/chkdsk recently?
Have you defragged your hard drive recently?

I had the same problem with the IGP, try changing the video mode to OpenGL. Btw
to be able to read the blue screen, Right click My Computer->Advanced->Startup
and recovery Settings->Uncheck "Automatically restart"

If the computer automatically restarts itself, it might be a problem with
your power supply. You might not have enough power for your computer. I
know that my computer is 40 watts under what it needs.

It could also be inadequate cooling. :)

i use to get that it was a bad sound driver i had so it may be a driver
problem if ur on 2k/xp go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Click
Settings in Start up and recovery uncheck Automatically restart and see what
the offending file is. On XP i had send error report about a critial system
error after rebooting i sent it and it returned the driver i needed. worked
fine ever since
