Computer Shutdowns when I play the game

October 31, 2015 8:10:07 PM from Ashes of the Singularity ForumsAshes of the Singularity Forums

Hi, As Titled. I have played 1v1 against my friend and it was fine. But I have started playing 3v3 .After a few min 2-10 my computer shutdowns. This may be a hardware error but I meet all the requirements for the specs of the game.. MY cpu runs about 50(°C) while in game.. I play a lot of games and never had this problem ever.. I also have windows 10.. 


Any ideas or help would be great.

Did  you upgrade to Win10? If so, check your motherboard/PC manufacturer's support page of their website for Win10-specific drivers. If you upgraded from Win7, still check their support page for their recommendations on Win10 as they may only have Win8 drivers but recommend them for Win10 (hope that made sense).

Otherwise, sounds like a classic temperature problem. Make sure all your fans are running properly. We all assume they're spinning but visually check. This game works the GPU harder than the CPU so it could easily be a GPU overheating problem, not a CPU overheating problem.

Crack open your case and inspect to see how clean it is. Clean it and any fans as necessary. While you're in there, check that everything's seated and connected firmly.  Also, you could try opening the case and pointing a fan directly at the guts inside your case, run the game hard, and see if that helps.

These should be good places to start.

Good luck and report back!

I concur, sounds like a video card overheat issue to me.

Yes I upgraded to Win 10 .. I will do that now.. I play CS and other games but only happens on this game.. I will check my motherboard  support page and get back to this page for an update. 

 

Thank you.
