I changed all the settings to the lowest and that didn't help, I tried underclocking my Graphics card and that didn't help. For some reason my computer only turns off from playing Crysis 2. I can only get to the point where you have to open the broken door at the beginning, then my pc just turns off without any warning just turns off like the power lead has been pulled out.

Can't play multiplayer because none of the servers will even start a game.

Help please!

Are you keeping an eye on your temps?

All of my temps are fine, my computer spec is: -

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz

Memory: Corsair XMS2 1066Mhz 4096MB RAM

Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB

Video Card: XFX ATi 4890 OC

Monitor: 20" Acer X203H 1600x900

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Motherboard: Gigabyte S-Series

Computer Case: Antec 900 hundred 2

so does it turn the whole pc off or just restart??

Turns the whole computer off :/

Turns the whole computer off :/


if the pc is powering down theres 3 things it could be.

1. overheating gpu card
2. overheating cpu
3.psu is dieing

with the psu what happens is over long periods of time the psu slowly looses how much power it can put out which means when your pc reaches load if the vid card and cpu are trying to pull more power than it can handle it will simply power down the pc.

so i would check temps first to make sure i recoment hwmonitor for that its free software and works great run that in the back ground and see how ya go.

if its not the temps then try getting a spare psu from somewhere to test if its that.

Have the same problem.....and many others.

5mins of SP Play and suddenly my pc turns completley off and I have to restart. I think this is the same problem as it was in Starcraft 2. During all the beginning Videos i have 3000 fps and in the mycrisis log in menu about 1200 fps which is clearly absurd. In game the fps are normal ~45. In an earlier version of Sc2 many people had the same issue cuz there was no fps limiter during the battle.net menu which leads to the overpowering of the graphic card and sudden reboots. Blizzard fixed that by implemeting the max 60 fps limiter and the problem was solved. Hope we get this too...

but I have so many other problems. flickering cuz of crossfire, problems with AVG which I had to deinstall in order to start the game, MP servers won't start cuz of that team making **** or check your network connectivity problem on my laptops. Right now the game drives me crazy and I play something else and hope for a patch....



ohhh and btw... it isn't the temperature...the mp demo worked fine. I got the problem with the released game...

I know it's not my temps on my CPU because that never ever goes over 40C my gpu maximum it has got is 85c on crysis 2 multiplayer demo. I will try your plan I will look for a PSU thank you.

(Same problem as m3ntOs)

This is also happening to me as well. I can confirm it's not a temperature issue on my end.

I'm using a 250 GTS
2 gigs ddr3
and a 3ghz quad amd processor
Powered by a 650 watt psu

Do you have a similar set up?

2 gigs of ram you need more ram than that to play Crysis 2 dude.

I'm running it fine on the highest settings.

I don't see what my ram has to do with this anyway?

Not to mention the demo ran perfectly on the highest settings. This issue is isolated to the full version of the game only.

Maybe energy.. 650 W.. it's not enough...

Actually given I'm not running SLI yes...yes it's enough.

I can play other graphically intensive titles just fine. This incident is only with this particular game.

My windows event manager logs the shutdown as voluntary boot down.

I know ppl already said stuff about temperatures, but if u haven`t done it for a while try cleaning up the dust inside your computer. I once had similar issue with a game solved by doing that.

It could be faulty ram sectors or a mismatched ram pairs. I had that once with a previous computer years ago playing oblivion (and ONLY oblivion, nothing else). It would just 'reset' for no reason, no error, nothing. It was having a 512 ram paired with a 256 ram pair. Just letting you know i've experienced that exact problem and it was a simple fix (and wasn't the game itself). Could be something more serious? Sure could, but if it's temps you usually see other issues like artifacts or blue screens. PSU dying is a possibility but again I've had psu's die and it usually the PC freezes and doesn't outright reset.

I had a similar problem after installing a new gfx card (Gigabyte GTX 570). At first my pc just kept restarting itself, found out my PSU wasn't big enough to power the card, let alone an entire computer.
So I bought a ThermalTake 775W PSU but my computer still seemed to die, getting progressively shorter and shorter on the startup process.
We had to pull the computer apart and test each part individually, ending at the processor and motherboard.
We cleaned and replaced the thermal paste on the CPU and that's solved the problem.

There are a multitude of issues it could be, just my two cents. Just try some out, it shouldn't be anything serious.
