Have a GREAT birthday!!!!

I just tried again and it gave the same error. I understand and will wait and see what the next steps are. If you need me to do anything, just let me know.

Happy birthday everyone!!!

It's not the IP. We're looking in to it. I have informed the right people. For now try using without the VPN. The ban system is aggressive to keep the bad actors at bay. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Unfortunately, the IP is auto assigned and I don't control that. Without the VPN, the normal way I play, my IP is 45.37.253.199 as provided via DHCP/Spectrum. I did try connecting with a different IP via the VPN in a local city (Charlotte, NC) but that returned the same error. So I'm guessing it may not be an IP address issue since it doesn't connect either way, with or without the VPN. Are there other items that would make that error? If so, I can check those settings...

Please tell us more about your PC. Sounds like your PSU's fan gave out. Is it a laptop or desktop? What CPU and GPU do you have? Do you have an air cooler on the CPU (i.e. a metal block with a fan attached to it)? For example I have a 2019 Macbook Pro with Core i9 CPU and AMD 5500 GPU that heat up when playing games in Windows 10. My FPS drops when my temps reach 80*C. I use Core Temp and GPU-Z to monitor my temps.

You are exempted for VPN use, so you should be able to connect using the original VPN IP that you were using.

it's likely overheating because the fan quit. Most of the time you can replace just the power supply, or even the fan if you wanna be super cheap about it. Unless you really don't know what you're looking at. It could possibly be your cpu fan?

My pc has started to reboot during game play. Any ideas? I noticed the fan on the power unit doesn't spin. I am not tech savvy. PS This is not auto-rage quit

Yes. Without the VPN is the normal way I connect. I only use the VPN for work when needed. It seems to be more a COD4X item with my IP address. I've had a bunch of storms and resets from Spectrum so I may have a new or slightly different IP address compared to a couple days ago. I could try to use the VPN and connect to another USA server, which would give me a different IP address test that theory. Thoughts?

Did you try joining without your VPN?

Hey there Penguin! I hope you are doing well! It still returns the error I listed. -Cyber

As J3st3r suggested, I have used these USB BIOS programmers for years. It is tricky, but works as a charm. The only problem you can get into is that can get confused which direction you put on the clam-on BIOS chip. If you are handy, there are people on Ebay that sell a BIOS chips. You tell them your problem, they search and update the BIOS for you. You just have to "solder" the BIOS chip back on it yourself. NOTE! Be sure you compare the zero-pin to the new one. Or else you fry it again. Trust me, you can burn your finger and have a nice red(burned) square on it. Good luck! /EDIT: If you are going to buy this tool, demand you get the right software for it. I can only make it work on a Windows 7 machine that I have. Mostly because of the (black port) USB2.0 support on them.

You're not old. You're fragile boned.

@cyberstrategist, see if you can join the server. If not, please let me know.

Hey cyber, I will check into this and get it handled. I appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Have a GREAT birthday!!!

This appeal and its replies are in a public forum and can be seen by all. What server were you banned from?: COD4 Main serverWhen did you get banned?: 7/22What was your in-game name?: cyberstrategistWhat is your game GUID (if known): Why do you think you were banned?: I was running my VPN prior to do some work. My bet is that it wasn't all the way off when I entered the game. To be honest, I don't know if it's a ban or something else. The message is: otection: matched rule 'proxycheck-risk-score-dangerous' Just let me know. I think that y'all know I'm here for the fun and comradery and nothing sinister like cheating or hacking. -Cyber
