pc shutsdown after 10-15mins of playing ds3

[vintagers]

have tryed all the obvious things like drivers, turning off firewalls, anti virus.

Only happens while playing ds3 and no other apps / games.

Weird. It has the hallmark of an overheat, but it's strange that it's localised to DS3...

[ArcticFroggy]

So no bluescreen, no nothing? Might want to give out more information as to what happens...

[vintagers]

there is no blue screen just pc turns it self off. literally.

[ArcticFroggy]

It must be overheating. I've got no other explanation.

When you touch the PC case after it has turned off, is it really hot?

 

Also, what are your system specs?

When is the last time you cleaned up the dust from inside your comp?

[brandysnap]

download and run furmark for 30 minutes at its default settings.

 

it will stress your gpu beyond anything it will normally do in most games.

cpu was over heating, was hitting 94 degrees. have a amd 64 athlon duel core 4800+

Well then, that leaves it to only 1 suggestion I can think of - clean your PC.

Open the case and blow the dust out... our you could take it to a service and let someone do it for you

Also, check if all the fans are working properly and if not, get new ones. Something is preventing them to work properly and that's either dust or they are just worn out.

 

Good luck, mate!

Only Dungeon Siege? It could still be a software fault. Turn on Vertical Sync to limit your framerate (Edit: Funny story, in that Star Trek MMO people have burned out their graphics cards at the intro scene because it was running at 200+ FPS)

 

Or double check your connections to the new hardware; something might be off with the fans.

looks like its time to remove the cpu fan and reseat it. preferably with arctic silver 5.
