My PC instantly shuts down after a few minutes of playing Crysis Warhead/Wars.

Hello.

Well a couple of months ago I had a problem with my PC shutting down on my old case. I consulted on the forum for help for changing my case to a gaming case. Today I changed to a gaming case and I experience the exact same problem!

The PC instantly would shut down. Temperature rises very high.

I have problems with both Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars multiplayer online. The game works perfectly on 1920x1200 resolution without lag on enthusiastic. All my games work perfectly well and flawlessly without a single bit of lag.
But my PC shuts down instantly after only like 3 to 5 minutes of play.
And despite changing my case to a gaming case I still have the same problem. Temperature rising very high to 75 degrees celciuson about 10 minutes of play.
I use the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890 OC Edition and Quad-Core Q6600 processor.
Despite setting the fan to 50 percentit still shutted down.

And I even played the game on opened case and the PC would shut down again, temperature jumps high up to 82 degrees celcius. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8610/65374426.jpg

I use a TRUST 570 Watt Pro Power supply http://www.trust.com/products/product.aspx?artnr=15317

And I also use a Samsung T240 24 inch LCD monitor.

Now I don't know why I have problems with my PC shutting down. I play Call of Duty 4 as well as FIFA 09, PES 2009 and I have no problems there. But I seem to have this problem with Crysis Warhead/Wars, Frontlines Fuel of War, Far Cry 2 and James Bond 007 Quantum of Solace.But before I only had a 19 inch monitor and I only had problems with Crysis. But since getting a new 24 inch Samsung monitor and play it on 1920x1200 resolution I get this problem.

I even decreased the resolution of Crysis Wars for online on 1024x768 and it still shuts down after a few minutes of play! And it happened twice today and in the past with the map called Armada. Infact with the Armada map it shuts down in less than 3 minutes.

What's the reason, and whats the solution to fixing this problem?

Thanks.

While 75C is hot...it's not catastrophic failure hot. It sounds like something else is happening.

Try the newest drivers for your video card. If the problem still persists...try using a program like Rivatuner to underclock your overclocked video card and see if you still get the same problem.

That's a terrible power supply. I bet that's the problem.

Trust are a rubbish low-end brand, and it doesn't even have active PFC

Hmm, Infact I do have a 120 mm cooling fan to thesideof the case pointing towards the GPUand one large one to the front.

Now I don't know whether powersupply may be the reason. But a friend of mine had the exact same problem with Crysis/Warhead and he has2x 8800GT inSLI mode and he used a 600 Watt PSU which caused problems with his PC shutting down. But when he bought a 1000W PSU then the problem went away.

I don't know whether this applies to me too. But I have a large 24 inch Samsung monitor, im not sure how much PSU Watt power it requires. But it is possible that both the 570 Watt PSU I've got cannot cope with both my Sapphire 4890 and 24 inch HD monitor, which is why its shutting down. But who knows?:?

I used to use the same powersupply with my old Nvidia GeForce 8600GT and I did not have such problem.

I could buy a PSU but where is the guarantee that this will solve the problem? Do I need a higher PSU, something higher than 570 Watts?:?

my crysis sometimes shuts down my computer after the loading screen. No idea why it completely turns off my pc. prehaps it could be my gpu temp hitting 85c.

i sometimes force fan speed at 60% so temp reaches no more than 70c. But i cant exactly remember if it had shut down on me with that fan speed so, ill check if its a heat issue

Like the others said, it's probably your power supply. Your monitor doesn't draw power from your power supply, it draws it from the wall. But a no-name PSU isn't a good thing, especially with a high-end power-hungry video card like yours. I once had a PC that would only shut down or restart while I was playing the most demanding games, because that's when the system was drawing the most power.

Like the others have said.. buy at least a 550-600 watt PSU from Corsair, Cooler Master, OCZ, Antec, or PC Power and Cooling. This will likely fix your problem... and if it doesn't, you should have a better quality power supply anyways! The wattage rating isn't the MOST important thing, although it is important. The amperage rating on the 12-volt rails is the most important. You don't want something that's pushing 16 amps.. go high.

My problem is after about 6 rounds of multi-player the game shuts down. I don't know if it hardware or software. Regular game play is fine just extended multi-player. gwplex

Did you have to thread bump my 2 year old thread?!:o

You need a new powersupply! That's your solution. When I had my HD 4890 my PC was shutting down cos of an unknown brand name TRUST 570 Watt psu.

I upgraded to a Corsair 850 Watt TX PSU and since then I never had a PC shut down. This is what you have to do, I guess.

You should've probably read through the thread instead of just bumping it though...
