105PACK Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 My buddy has a problem running CMAK. At random interals, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes into the game, his computer will completely shut down...not reboot...shut down, power off. He does not have this problem with any other game...just CMAK. Any suggestions? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyewacket Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I am no computer expert, so forgive me for any stupid answer. But I had the same problem some time ago. The problem was that the fan was damaged. When CMAK or CMBB runs the processor has a lot to do and heats up. And my PIII (900 MHz) turned off because of the overheating.I thing the PIII has a 'turning off' mechanism to avoid damages or so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 That would be my first guess... a thermal shutdown, possibly initiated by a BIOS setting. Does he have any problems starting the computer back up (i.e. - having to wait awhile first) ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
105PACK Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks for the quick reply, I will attempt to contact my friend today so he can further narrow this problem down; it does sound like a thermal issue. Again, I appreciate the promt response! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
