So my computer automatically restarted for some reason when I started the game and now when I try to run it it says Hawken has stopped working. I already tried reinstalling it, but it still doesn't work

Did you already check if there is a Hawken-related error record in Window's event viewer_ If so please post the excact wording of the error title and error description in this thread.

Did you already try the solutions listed in here: http://steamcommunit...52451325040024/ _

When you uninstalled Hawken via Steam did you manually delete both Hawken folders in the "SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common" and in the "Documents\My Games" folders before you reinstalled the game_

lots of things you can try from Software to Hardware.  

Software: Reimage your Hard Drive back to factory installed state or just reinstall windows.

Hardware: disconnect everything.  EVERYTHING!  Power supply, video card, memory, etc.  might have a loose connection somewhere.

I know its not much but if you tried everything else... then you have to think.  What haven't you tried_

weird, are you launching I assume from steam_  If so might try to dig into the hawken files and launch directly from the game and see.  And no I dont know where that file is or anything, so probably not too helpful.  Probably wudnt be that anyways since you reinstalled unless theres a file be left over that isnt being replaced thats preventing it.  I once was messing with the ini and some how inputed something that didnt read right and it would crash the launcher everytime it tried to start up.

The first thing I always suggest here is running steam in admin mode, and verifying the integrity of the game cache.

Rebooting might have something to do with you BIOS!

If you have a new motherboard with dual bios and can re-flash your primary Bios with the backup then you might consider doing just that.

My rig became unstable and I was pissed to say the least.  After trying everything I could think of, I did the bios trick and its been running stable ever since.

You would think that it couldn't happen that a bios would get corrupt, but sh*t really does happen.

I fixed it by renaming the hawken folder in the My Documents to "hawkenbackup"
