Specs
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-D3H FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X
Operating Syste: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
APU: AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
PSU: Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power

So guys I finally bought my new computer installed windows 7 64 bit, everything's running great so far (so it seems)
I used speccy and a few other programs to check my temperatures and noticed that they were quite high
speccy was giving me 60 degrees celsius and then it dropped down to 42.

While easy tune was giving me a temperature in 20-23 celsisus range

Heres the problem

I tried to play Medieval 2 Total War, it loaded up fine nice and fast I started a quick game and
a few seconds after being in game my monitor went black and lost signal! What could be wrong?
i'm pretty sure I installed my APU correctly along with it's heatsink maybe i didn't install it correctly?

Other notes:
I haven't messed with anything in BIOS, I simply installed all hardware put in my windows 7 CD installed it and then installed the drivers that came along with my motherboard.
 
some missing info-
did computer reboot normal or do u have no boot or just no display(hard drive activity loading stuff just no display)

im not saying to try to reload your game just have you tried rebooting

and are u using onboard or add in graphics you have no video card listed

Be careful what application you use to read temperature on amd apu. They aren't always correct. Need to download amd overdrive suite. It shows cpu gpu temps and allows for oc without restarting. I don't use it for that but I know it does read temperature correctly. I'm betting that Ur fine if Ur not over locked and u know how to use thermal paste
