Title: Computer shuts off 6 mins in
Post by: odunn on March 07, 2010, 08:24:16 PM
I just downloaded everything today, followed the instructions and can load a game playing against the AI.  Everything goes well but 6 minutes into the match computer just shuts off...no errors, nothing just shuts right off.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I tried using the fps command line in variables also already because i have a 8800gt.

system is windows 7 ultimate 64bit. 4gig of ram.

It sounds like it may be an overheating issue.  Also, Nvidia's 196.75 graphics drivers are faulty.  It disables the fan from kicking in when the video card heats up.  If you have those drivers installed, uninstall them! There is more information on their website.

Yeah, like previous dude said it's likely an overheating issue. What's your GPU? If it's Nvidia, check your drivers.
