I double checked this.The game crashed every few minutes.The processor was fine at around 40c but the graphics card was no more than 80c but i smell smoke now coming from the graphics card.Something is wrong.


Same build.

I checked for mod compatibility.Then uninstalled them.Then deleted the folder ini.Then restarted the game.The files loaded an i played the game.The game worked fine.But i could smell smoke.Then is go close to the computers window an could see the graphics card generating smoke.Something is fighting the graphics card.

It must be getting hotter then that to produce smoke, unless there is a short in the card causing circuits to fry. I once had an 8600gt that had its cooling fan seize while I was playing fallout 3, and it got to around 110c before I noticed the temperature. My 9500gt used to consistently hit 85c while gaming, and lasted five years. So if I were to take a guess there must be a short circuit on the card somewhere, or you have way to much dust which is being burnt by the heat produced by the card.
