ya i might try cleaning out my graphics card and seeing if that works.but by shutting down do you mean shutting down but you can turn it back on again.because i dont think this was alpha protocol that did that but with a previous game when i shut my computer off it actually wouldnt turn back on again
Sounds like some bad hardware problem, dude. Updating drivers is always important, when you want to play some new games on the market. Also it sounds like some serious overheating or, more likely, problem with power supply.
Maybe some faulty overclocking attempt? Or maybe some malware issues? AFAIK one of the available NoCD might cause similar sensations too.
Too many variables and not enough data available to accurately pinpoint your problem. One thing is sure, though - it's some fault on your end, mate.
as far as data goes i dont know what else to say.ill try updating my graphic card drivers and seeing if that works,i do know maybe it wasnt this game,but when my computer shut off and i couldnt turn it back on again.when i unplugged everything from my power strip and plugged everything back in i could try my pc on again
