    Hey guys i am having some trouble i posted a while ago about this problem and it seemed to go away mostly it happend but only like 3 times a day.

    but since i have started to play Final fantasy xiv it crashes like 6 times in 5 min its stupid.

    i have tried to update the drivers to latest but i am still getting it.
    I have tried to lower the overclocking / turn it off but i am still getting it.
    The Temp is around 60-65C i think thats ok isnt it?.

    I am not sure what els to try.

    P.S My card is AMD radeon 7800 series

    Question here is what is this for PC,Xbox or Playstation:confused.

    And 65c=149F so it might be a heat issue here.

    Radeon's tend to throw out more heat then regular video cards.

    Unfortunately as you've probably guess this can be causes by overheating failing video card, the game or some other software issue.

    Check that FF14 is fully updated and check the support site and forum for other users with similar errors, update your video card driver, update windows, don't use cracks or .exe fixes.

    The easiest way to rule out the rest of the computer is to put the card in another machine which isn't always possible so try to repeat the error in 3Dmark "The latest your card will comfortably run" or heaven benchmark.

    Your temperatures are fine are they idle or load temps? I like MSI afterburner for monitoring video card temps so run 3dmark or heaven 'multiple times if possible' and post your idle and peak temperature during the benchmark, make sure your video card fan is spinning.

    In general if the computer doesn't hard hang or turn off I would suspect the game straight away, especially if your ot having problems with other games so post if you have, post your operating system also.

    Welcome to the forum:)

    Is that for the CPU or GPU? That is probably not a problem for the GPU. But for the CPU, if it sits consistently above 60°C that is too "warm". It is not "hot" so not likely to "harm" the CPU, but it is likely to cause stability issues - which you seem to be experiencing.

    Since adequate cooling is the responsibility of the case, if your CPU is consistently sitting above 60°C, that tells me you need to address your case cooling. Is the case interior, heatsinks, fans, air vents all clean of heat trapping dust? If clean, then you need to look at adding additional case fans, or replacing the existing case fans with larger fans, or fans that move more air (higher CFM specs).

    In any case, you need to stop overclocking until resolved.

    We don't know what that temp was from either cpu or video card.:confused

    Very little info i think to go on no real specs.
