So I have pretty big problem in Starcraft II, it overheats in multiplayer, and when it overheats, whole computer turns power off, and it takes 5 to 10 minutes to turn it back on.
Sometimes overheating happens in 10 minutes, sometimes I can play 1 hour and no problems.
Overheats only in multiplayer, never overheated in singleplayer.
In most of settings game suggest me ultra, and I have tried to low these setups and no effect in overheating.
My computer fills all recommended system requirements, expect that I have Windows XP 32bit.
I do have service pack 3 ( SP 3 ) in XP.
There are no way that Windows XP would overheat my computer.
I have tried some maxium torture tests of CPU, GPU and 45mins to 2 hours, and after 20 minutes temperatures are not rising and no overheating.
So Im sure that there are some bug in Starcraft 2.
I also have put this:
Quote: "frameratecap=60
frameratecapGlue=30"
to variables.txt, and checked FPS rate with Xfire and FPS never rises over 60 ( well sometimes 61 but only for like a 0,5 second )
Thanks for reading this! I hope you can help me.
I'll add more information if you ask for more, or if I remember something important.
NEW INFORMATION: ( I also add here my other posts in this thread so you dont have to try find my other messages )
1. Oh, and I can play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with no overheating, I have played it sometimes over 3 hours and no overheating.. and high graphics.
My post:
Quote: When Im talking about overheating I mean that computer shuts down.
But I tested again with furmark, but this time Xtreme burning test like you said, computer didn't shutdown.
Highest temperature was 94 ( celsius )
Min framerate = 17, highest = 18, Average = 17
Time: 26:00
CPUid HWmonitor was program I used in another test.
3. I also have tried to put most of settings to medium and few to low and still overheated.
NOTE: I copied this from other forum because didn't get answer from there.
I had noticed the article on MegaGames and thought it might help. I don't have and have never played either Starcraft I or II. It is strange that only one game causes your problem and not other intensive game(s) though.
