    I've been using this new computer for about 1-2 months?
    And now I tried to play one of my old favorite games Tibia! But the thing is I can only be online and play for like between 10 minutes to 3 hours then my computer just completely shuts down..
    I've tried running the game in the three options there is
    Directx5, Directx9 and OpenGL
    But none of them seems to be any better than the other
    Directx5 makes the graffic look like shit, Dx9 makes it crash after some time and OpenGL felt like it crashed even earlier!

    My computer build:
    AMD FX 8150 8-core processor (3.6ghz)

    Kingston DDR3 HyperX PnP 1600MHz 8GB
    Kit w/two HyperX 2GB DDR3, CL9-9-9-27

    Western Digital Caviar® Black 1TB
    SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3.5",
    Dual processor

    MSI 990FXA-GD65, Socket-AM3+
    ATX, 990FX+SB950, DDR3, 2xPCIe(2.0)x16, CFX&SLI,
    SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, UEFI

    Corsair SSD Force Series GT 120GB 2.5"
    SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 555MB/515MB/s read/write,
    85k IOPS(4k aligned), w/bracket

    Gainward GeForce GTX 570 1280MB PhysX
    PCI-Express 2.0,"Goes like Hell - GLH", GDDR5, 2xDVI,
    HDMI, DisplayPort, 800MHz

    Cooler Master GeminII SF524 CPU Kylare
    755/1155/1156/1366, AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1,
    800~1800 RPM, 34~78 CFM, 15~31.6 dBA
    (I didnt want my new good looking CPU to get overheated)

    Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 Röd LED Fläkt
    200 x 200 x 30mm, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA, 3
    Pin, 3-4 pin Adapter
    (Even more to cool of my new computer)


    And I've tried updating my grafficcard drivers and made a system scan
    (sfc /scannow)

    Anyone that might know how to handle this problem?
    Really frustrating to die/almost die all the time in the game coz of random shut downs...

    Thx for all the future help!

    btw how to attach the log file? :O it only says a security token was missing so I cant upload it?

    Hi

    What Windows version and Service Pack are you using?


    No idea what log file you are trying to attach but the below will help.


    Is the game fully updated?

    Have you checked on system temperatures? as a high temp when playing games can cause a PC shutdown.

    If using Vista or Windows 7 then try Compatibility Mode and run the game via that mode.

    Do have the feeling though you are running XP with very new hardware so in device manager do you have any yellow ! marks or red X's? and if so by what device?
