The problem I am having is a bit different from what I've seen also posted on this site. I recently got Borderlands 2, and after installation I told the game to auto-detect settings and went straight to play. From the visual quality I am assuming it defaulted to high settings as the game looks amazing and plays superbly (well over 60 fps). However, after about 15 minutes the screen froze (sound continues as normal) and remains frozen until I ctrl+alt+del out of the game, then simply click cancel and return to the game where it resumes as though nothing had happened. Until a few minutes later when I must repeat these actions. This continued for a few hours until it finally crashed to desktop. Games with lesser requirements (i.e. WoW, LoL) run flawlessly or mostly flawlessly, while games like Diablo 3 have a host of other problems that I've more or less corrected.
My rig clearly meets the requirements and my drivers are totally up to date I believe. This is a newly purchased computer as well, so naturally I am miffed that this is occurring. I've checked my temps and they are well within normal limits too. What other solutions can I explore? I realize the first option is to dial back the settings but, come on, is my hardware really not up to the challenge? I hate to think that after shelling out for a new system I'm reduced to using 1200 x 800 resolution with fps capped at 30 and shadows off and reflections off and all settings on "ultra low". Unless I have no alternative. (this was more or less the solution to making d3 finally stop going black and resetting itself every 5 minutes of play.... cept i used a higher resolution to still be widescreen with my monitor. Needless to say I was pissed that d3 ran error free on my 6 year old computer but couldn't stop bugging out on my new computer
