-I've run System Requirements Lab for Bioshock and I pass for minimum settings
- I've downloaded the nVidia driver update for increased BS stability
- I have an extra fan in PC for cooling
- Have reinstalled game a number of times
- Am running game on absolute minimum graphics and audio settings
Specs: GEforce 7600 GT
Intel Celeron D 3.20 Ghz
Symptoms:
I get through the intro and get to the Rapture part right in the beginning (or somewhere near there) then either
a) I get a bishock.exe error or
b) My screen shuts off while the music continues. I can't shutdown the game and have to manually restart computer.
I'll have to check back later cuz I'm not at home. But let's assume that it is overheating...what would be my gameplan then? Also,this extra fan I have doesn't help enough?
ok, those are high, but not super high, so you should be ok... It could be a faulty card, do other games play like this? Try updating the drivers, that could help.
I have seen that happen with a no DVD cracked version of the executable. I used it for a while so I wouldn't have to keep the DVD in the drive, but started having crashes similar to what you describe. I switched back to my original exe which required the DVD and haven't had a crash since.
can anyone help me out? i got bioshock...installed it... and i ran the darkcoder and everything...used the registry program... it ran for a while...then the screen froze and i could here my processor or gpu fan speed increase and then my rig shuts down and restarts again...is anything wrong? it also happend with medal of honor airborne...
