Cold reboot after Intel C2D logo

[Fizdude]

I'm having the same problem, the disk isn't bad because I have lent it out to a few people (because after install, no disk is required)

after the intel logo, everything is black but with music, and when i press eneter, it goes grey and two bars of black appear, with a square of black for my cursor

thats what you get for playing on an amd when it clearly says intel!!

....that's a joke, right?

try deleting my docs / my games / ut3 / ut game / config / utengine.ini and let it make a new one, my vista install did this for some reason and that fixed it.

now no logos appear, but the computer doesn't reboot... it just hangs at a black screen

Simply put, UT3 will not start.
After troubleshooting a while, I still can't figure out why.
I've patched to 1.1, updated the video card drivers (and uninstalled the old ones first), updated the processor drivers, tried the stickies like UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization, and PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled, and even checked for firmware updates for the DVD-ROM drive that is used.
Nothing worked. It still reboots the PC right after the Intel logo appears, with no errors.

The specs for the PC are:
Windows XP SP2
ECS RS485M-M mobo
AMD X2 4800
Geforce 7950GT
1x 1GB DDR2-800
Lite-On DVD-ROM LH-16D1P
onboard sound


I installed it on a secondary PC just to test and see if the DVD was bad, and it worked, I think... I don't really know since I didn't play it on the second PC, I just know it got past the intel logo and I was able to put in the CD-Key.
Second PC specs:
Windows XP SP2
Intel 865PERL mobo
Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz w/ HT
Geforce 5900XT
2x 512MB DDR-400
Sony CRX320E DVD-ROM/CD-RW
Sound Blaster 16 PCI
