Default Installed SH5 and graphic card died :(

Just got it up and running and patched...then my card died.

It guess the stress of a subsim was too much for it.

It will be OK though - I was planning for a new one anyway

My computer has some heating problems due bad case/fans/airflow/etc, I could run COD4, CODMW2, SH3, ArmA and ArmA 2 okay but SH4 and more so SH5 will cause heating problems when I really get into a graphics fest on the seas.

Not that its any way fault of SH engines, I just thought to mention it.

AMD X2 7750, 2gb ram, ATI Radeon HD 4850.
