    very strange crashign of game PLEASE READ
    « on: November 04, 2011, 11:22:32 PM »
    Hey, so lately I have been having some issues with all my games. You see a few months ago my computer crashed while playing crysis 2 and the screen never showed any picture while the computer was on, so I went to my local computer shop to get it looked at and upgraded(I thought it was time for an upgrade anyway)I took it home thinking it was all good until I tried playing crysis 2 again. It crashed, well not the computer but the screen goes into power saving mode and I cant turn it back on until I restart the computer. The computer shop ran all the tests and everythings fine, its not overheating or anything they dont think, although the first time I took it back(yes I have had to take it back about 3 or 4 times, I even tried a different shop) there was a cord jammed in one of the fans, but they replaced that. I really need help here, its been like this for 5 months now. I really dont know. Its usually when I play some of my more “hardcore games” like crysis1&2, section 8, brink etc, it doesnt have a specific time when it crashes(screen goes into power saving mode) its just random. I can play a game for days without anything happening and then BOOM!, CRASH!. I dont know if I have a faulty GPU, CPU, motherboard or whatever, what are the symptoms for that? Anyway really need help here, I am desperate so if any of you compiter gurus have any ideas of siggestion on what I can do please tell me!
    Thanks

    The processor could be overheating. Perhaps you could install a temperature monitoring utility; I have a Phenom 945 and I use a program called AMD Core Temp which shows the CPU temperature in the system tray and also can write readings to a log file. That way after a crash you can see how hot it was getting.

    By the way, it is neither necessary nor polite to include "PLEASE READ" in the subject line. In fact many people ignore such threads.
