SH4 looks so good....
 
that it makes my PC turn off if I stay underwater too long. I think it overheats my video card to the point where the computer just powers itself off. Anyone else have this happen?:o

I have, and it ain't fun; especially when you're getting into firing position, or finally slipping away from that DD that's been dogging you for an hour.

:hmm: yeah it kinda sucks. Never had a game do that before. Its not a CTD or anything. The system completely powers down. Then again SH4 is the nicest game my computer even ran.

Sounds like a heat issue.

i figured as much. may have to go get some new fans.:nope:

Or open the PC case. The temperatures will drop by almost 10 degrees C.

Also, it wouldn't hurt if you vacuum clean it (specially the fans). You could get another 5 degrees C from this.

i will give this a try! thanks for the advice :up:

I'll second that
 
Run the ol' Dustbuster with the snake attachment around your fans. They get very dusty and clogged which decreases their effectiveness.
What I do sometimes, particularly in the summer, is take off a side panel and place a small floor fan to direct air to the machine to provide better circulation particularly if I've got the central AC on.
