Game crashes, can't find any help on it.

<p>When I'm playing the game will freeze for a second and then my textures get REALLY bad(the quality), almost like I drop my texture resolution to low quality, then they go black, then eventually the whole screen will go black, then the computer likes up and you're forced to reboot.</p> <p>I'm only able to play about 20 minutes or less before this happens every single time. I'm up to date on my video drivers as well.</p> <p>Anyone know what video settings I should try to disable/enable to fix this?</p>

<p>You could try to go to the lowest settings in game. </p><p>Could you also post a DXdiag as suggested in the <a href="list.m?topic_id=353617">*** Read before posting ***</a> thread <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

After that with the side still off verify that all the fans are working properly - CPU, video, etc</p>

In any respect this type of maintence is a good habit to get into ever month or so just to verify everything is working right and clean. See a 2-3 degree centegrade raise on my system in heavy combat searios and I use liquid cooling on my system</p>
