just fired up Crysis 2 on my new build, PC shutdown during opening sequence (submarine)...

however have been playing Portal 2 without probs..

ram Prime95 high FPUs for approx 45 mins, full load, temps maxed out at 75C for 3 cores with the remaining core being around 66C

also ran the RTIH HDL app for GPU, maxed out everthing for 20 mins or so and no probs..

ran the above simultaneously with Prime 95 for 20 mins or so and no probs...

so its unlikely to be a h/w issues?

specs: i5 2500k, msi gen3 mobo,Kingston HyperX 16gb RAM, Lepa B series 750W 80 Plus Bronze, Radeon HD4850, 2 WD blacks 1TB (RAID 1) and 1 WD 2TB Green, plus a DB ROM, USB etc

thanks
 
have you had crysis running on a previous system without issue ?, if so did u use the same version of graphics drivers.

have you got any other games to try, if it runs ok on portal and something else it points more towards crysis than the system.
 
Crysis 2 with high res textures might create an issue for you... It pushes my 480 into the 90c easily...

Have you tried it on lower graphics settings?

I played Crysis 1 on my old system, not this one...however portal 2, video encoding, stress tests etc run ok on the current system;

I have had Crysis 2 on extreme settings, haven't applied high res textures... will do some more tinkering and see
 
ok so far I've tried lower the settings to HIGH, I've tried disabling the onboard sound, disabling anti-virus, background progs etc but it still keeps on shutting down

it now even shuts down quicker into the game if I immediately launch Crysis (after restart)

!!!

maybe my graphics card is overheating? however it is on standard clock and can handle the RTHIDL app with no probs (max settings)....wouldn't also make sense for it overheat if Crysis' min specs are for a Radeon 3850!

Try re-installing and run on default settings. Also check event log and see if there is any indication, as to why it`s shutting down.

Click to expand...

just to make sure download gpu-z and get it to write to a log file then run things.
 
here's the latest log...seems to be complaining about texture mapping...not sure what remedy is... I am already using default settings..

the GPU z event log after the last system shutdown shows that idle temps (of GPU) increased from 79C to 119C (just before shutdown), while GPU memory clock increased from 750Mhz to 990.6Mhz.

GPU fan rpm was operating at a max of 9540

GPU load 100%

any ideas?

cheers
 
Tbh, i would to do a clean install. Then try playing on default settings and see how it goes. If the problem persists, try an earlier driver.
 
Just done a search and was surprised at how many people(going back to April) have the same or similar log file. This includes both Nvidia and Amd single or sli/xfire. I don`t think it`s your Gpu, more likely the software.
As i said earlier, completely remove all trace of the game and do a clean install.

I myself, fortunately, have had no problems. Although, i never installed from disc.
 
Ever thought that sometimes a PC just crashes and shuts down for no reason?

Has it only done it once? If so I really wouldnt worry about it as it might just be a one off, if it keeps doing it then theres problem
 
Early in august i found same problem anyway i clean installed vista / crysis 2 leaving out high res texture (high) installed 275.33 an turned off defender a 480gtx pumps our fps at 65 to 105 at 1650 1050.

Bearlake X38 Wolfdale 775 E8400 4 Gig Ram GTX480.
 
Ok, re installed crysis 2, still same shutdown prob!

Been playing portal 2 lately with no probs at all...

However, installed and fired up civilisation V today and pc automatically shutdown after about half an hour!!

Not sure what's going on as all the burn in tests have run ok including some heavy duty graphics rendering/ future mark extreme etc!

Help!
 
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but....according to dxdiag I have Direct X 11 installed.... According to my graphics card specs, it supports up to dx 10.1

However, according to Everest ( under summary) I am using dx 9c

So what exactly is my dx version! And could that be the problem?
