Pnkbstrb communication failure
i'm not the most computer literate... but when my computer restarts when doing a specific thing, i do the following:
defrag hard drive.
try again...
unplug usb stuff.
try again...
windows restore.
try again...
clean inside of my computer...
try again.
after that, the shizzz gets serious, we are talking major reinstallations and hardware replacements.
by the way punkbuster is a windows service now too... so make sure your services settings are correct.

may i ask why'd you get q3 from a torrent? and had quake 3 worked previously on the exact same set-up previously or had you reformatted? New hardware?
Obviously the install has nothing to do with your PB not working (or at least nothing noticable).
Does your PC reboot randomly when you do anything else?
I know my little brother's GPU over-heated and his PC would reboot as a result every so often when he did certain things/running so long. Random PC reboots come from different things. Look over your hardware/clean it out like ronin had suggested

try to turn off your firewall. Or use better firewall with learning mode (for example kerio/sunbelt firewall). Processes like PnkBstrA.exe and B needs access to internet. If not, youre kicked.

The majority of people think they think, when really they just change their prejudices. Understanding is a matter of will in most cases.

uninstall PB and delete PB folder in q3 dir. After that use this: http://forums.excessiveplus.net/viewtopic.php?p=350491#350491
