Ok guys, like the title but more description. Never happened before installing a new game - Battlefield Bad Company 2. Usually I check the FPS and gpu temp etc while running in a new game to check my best settings graphically. But since i got this game, after a while of playing, the gpu temp and fan temp eventually fail and say 0c and 0% fan speed (but clearly the gpu is still working because the game still runs) ... I figured out eventually this freezes the game, so since have tried quitting the game the second i see the 0 fan speed and 0 temp, but this too freezes my computer.. Theres nothing i can do to find out what the problem is, no indication to any problems, and only happens on this game. Each time it happens i have to restart - then select restart windows normally.. and continue just like before, sometimes i get an hour of game, sometimes i get less, or more.

Also, if anybody knows.. if i dont use Afterburner, will my gpu fans automatically run at speeds to keep my gpu cool? its a complete new-ish build and dont fancy letting my gpu fry because of some technical hitch.

Thanks for any information, if anyone has a similar problem, or knows of this problem?
