Hey everyone, I had already made a thread in Systems about having an issue where All my games CTD after a while playing, but I figured I'd ask this specific question here.
The Issue: For most games I've played for the last month and a half or so I eventually CTD with the message "PROGRAM has stopped working"
After troubleshooting a lot I could not find a solution.
However, I downloaded CAM and found my CPU running up to 82 degrees. At this point the game Mirror's Edge would crash after 5 minutes of play
My CPU is an intel 3570k with the stock fan, and I have a coolermaster HAF Med case
I opened my case and noticed that there was a lot of dust in the fan/ heatsink, and so I cleaned it out.
After doing so I could run Mirrors edge up to 45 minutes without a crash.
However, the temp of the CPU gradually increased until it peaked around 77-78 and I crashed again.
My question: could my problem with CTDing be related to my CPU getting hotter than it should, particularly if it has been getting this hot for a while (possible damage over time?)
Thanks,
