The only way to know for sure is to know what error. That would be helpful

Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer.

Look primarily at the system log, but also at the application log for any errors that occured at the time of the problem.

I understand it would be faster ImmortalDuck, but it has long been a policy among the moderators that we only answer on the boards. You have no idea how many have read these posts later and had their similar problem solved.

I'll try to check in on this frequently to answer as quickly as possible. In the meantime others may be able to assist as well. Besides. I'd have to take the time to look up the errors and possible solutions anyway, so MSM probably wouldn't be much faster

Well, I hadn't looked that one up before, but I recalled it and that's why in my earlier post I suggested about the processor getting too hot.

There's a variety of ways you can check your processor temps and usage. One that I use is PC Wizard 2004
http://www.cpuid.com/pcw.php

You can monitor that off and on while you play your game. If you see it maxing out frequently at 100% and see your temps rising, that is probably going to help you narrow it down.

That would be only around 35 Celcius, but just to double check are you sure you're reading Farenheit? Normally I see temps measured in Celcius. If those temps are actually Celcius readings, then you are WAY too hot.

Yeah, I'm using HDD Temperature, and I have it set to read on Farenheit. Switched to Celcius for a moment and it was at 29 Degrees.

Crap. Thanks for bumping this. Sorry. I forgot about it. I apologize for the other tool. If your motherboard is supported this tool will measure your temps:

Just had a friend show me that when we were working on this the other day and I forgot to come back here and post it. My apologies.

// The temps show in systray so you can monitor them while you play.

Ahh, no problem. I'll try this tomorrow, for now I'm going to sleep.

I'll post what happens after I use it while playing my game.

This definetly sounds like a overheating problem. Could this becaused by a file loading it self into memory too many times? My processor used to overheat when I had the stock heatsink on while playing games. If you can take the side panel off and run your games. This can sort of tell you if its heat. If you built the computer yourself i would suggest reapplying the thermal paste between the processor and heat sink. Amd has some pretty good videos on processor installation and heatsink installation. I'd check it out just for learning.

Well this didn't happen since I posted my last message. Now it did, and I think it's overheating too. Should I open up my side panel and have a fan on right next to it?
