I believe normaly the system runs around 70 degrees celcius. but when i run the game it slowly rises and oce it gets to around 115 degrees celcius + it gives me that message. I downloaded the latest software and driver for my graphics card and motherboard, but that did not solve the problem. I also went to the sims site and ran the system compatibility test and it said my system should run the game.
