BloodyVengeance 0 Posted June 23, 2013 hey guys...im having trouble playing dayz with play six. the problem is not six but when i get into a server and screw around for a bit, i crash like never before. this crash literally shuts down my computer right in the middle of the game. this happened before so i thought it was a problem with the graphics. i am playing dayz on an old computer so i turned down all the visual settings to the lowest possible settings there is.for a while, it worked fine and there was little to no lag. but something went wrong with my steam and the game itself wouldnt work. i tried everything to get the game working but no success. i could only play arma and dayz with six to work. i dont know what i did but now the games work by themselves with steam and six but i still continue to crash unexpectantly.can someone tell me whats wrong? i might have an idea that my copmuter is the problem but im not 100% sure if thats the reason.

TastyBagel 45 Posted June 23, 2013 Not that much info to go on, but its quite possible that your PC is shutting itself down due to the temps being too high (CPU, etc). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BloodyVengeance 0 Posted June 23, 2013 sorry TastyBagel. i dont know much about my computer other thn it being old. that actually might be the reason why i keep crashing. so thanks and guess im not gonna use the family computer for my games. time to start searching for a computer suitable for gaming.

=DiG= Zgraphz 84 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) that may not be the issue, i can suggest to u two software programs that will run stress test on you gpu/cpu and all other hardwares and it'll record their clock rate, average fps. and core temp in C* First is the easiest to use is MSI Afterburner and MSI Kombustor, install them, open after burner and hit I in the left corner and the stress test will start then u can see, if you computer's heat temp goes up very quickly, there could be a few things wrong, I recommend removing the Heatsink cleaning all the dust and crap built up around it, if it still over heats then your Heat sink isn't working or is going out. or in worst case your cores could be damaged which is unlikely but possible due to constant overload Edited June 23, 2013 by =DiG= Zgraphz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
