Computer randomly shuts down while playing..


(Briq) #1

I played Dirty Bomb during one of its beta tests a month or so ago with no issues at all. I started playing again after this recent patch and now my computer will just randomly shut off while playing. I can play for up to 20 or 30 minutes before it happens, but eventually it will happen. It doesn’t happen with any other game I play. My first guess was that my cpu was getting too hot and shutting down the computer, so I got some software to check and my cpu never goes above about 68C, so it isn’t that. Thanks in advance for any info.
