ReconSOC

So all of a sudden, your box was too hot? That makes no sense, yet at the same time it does make sense. What I can't figure out is - why was I able to run so long previous to that fatal crash? And now I can not play for more than a couple minutes? I have never had heat problems. I do know that my CPU runs about 135F, but that has never been a problem and I thought that was a normal temperature. I will try adding a fan and see if that helps...

Same thing happened to me. Same attempts to fix the thing. I am at the very end of the game and then I locked up. After that lock up I am no longer able to stay in game more than a couple minutes without having the sound freak out and then the entire machine freezes. I can't do anything except power off or reset. I played through the entire game with a few crashes (maybe 2 the entire time) and now it just crashes every time I start a new character, or load an old saved game. This is VERY frustrating.
