PC Restarts after a few minutes of BC2...

[The Halo Don]

It's only with Bad Company 2 when my PC restarts.

I notice that it restarts at about 70c( Which isnt bad right?) and it usually happens after 30 minutes of playing the game.

I thought it was a hardware problem, but with Crysis I ran it on Ultra and the temp got up to 75c and I played that for a while. Also have been playing other games, and the temps are the same, and sometimes a bit higher.

Other games:
Team Fortress 2
COD 4
Red Faction Armageddon
Red Orchestra 2

So is it some kind of driver I am missing or hardware failing?

My Specs:
- Phenom II 840T @2.9
- 6TB
- 1TB
- XFX 6870 (Stock clocks) *Just bought it Thursday
- 620w Antec High Current Gamer *Just bought last week
Case: HAF 912 (Only 1 exhaust fan, might be getting a 200mm for intake)

As for CPU temps, they average at about 52c in-game.

It sounds like a video card driver problem!

Or its the games drivers, Maby its messing with bc2.

Try reinstalling the game and update the drivers! That will fix the problem
