It has the hallmark of an overheat, but it's strange that it's localised to DS3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArcticFroggy Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 So no bluescreen, no nothing? Might want to give out more information as to what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vintagers Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 there is no blue screen just pc turns it self off. literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArcticFroggy Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) 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? Edited June 26, 2011 by ArcticFroggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Flouride Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 When is the last time you cleaned up the dust from inside your comp? Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 brandysnap Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vintagers Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 cpu was over heating, was hitting 94 degrees. have a amd 64 athlon duel core 4800+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArcticFroggy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chasted Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) cpu was over heating, was hitting 94 degrees. have a amd 64 athlon duel core 4800+ 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.

0 brandysnap Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 looks like its time to remove the cpu fan and reseat it. preferably with arctic silver 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
