When playing Crysis 2 my system reboots randomly between 15-60mins of playing. i played the demo and there were no issues. The game itself runs maxed out and temperatures remain low when playing CPU at 50ish and GPU at about 45-50. Neither are over-clocked. I've tried reinstalling after cleaning registry, turning off AVG, updating graphics drivers to the 11.4 preview ones supposed to fix the issue and as i bought it on steam i have tried verifying game cache which says its 100% okay. I'm pretty sure my system should be able to run this game :tongue:

What power supply have you got? Brand-Model and wattage. Since the temps look ok, the PSU is the prime suspect right now. Also, do you play games other than Crysis 2 ? If so, do you experience the same issue?

It is a CIT (model 700UB) 700W PSU runs all below 100% fine

yeh I play shogun 2 total war maxed out no issue, killing floor ditto, Civilisation V ditto

This will sound weird, but I do think it's the PSU, despite the fact that it happens in Crysis 2 only. CIT are known for low quality PSUs, I've seen a few threads here in the past where replacing it solved many problems for a lot of people, you should change it to a quality brand such as this: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Even if it's not the cause of this issue, you're risking damaging your hardware in the long run.

yeah when you mentioned the PSU i went and did a quick search people appear to dislike them! I guess this is a mistake i won't make again when i build a new PC! faceplam*

cheers for the suggestion =) I shall have to save my pennies and acquire one!

Just an after thought after having a look for another £10 reckon i should go up to the 850W in the same series?

 

[Markgg88]

That would be a wise decision. Try to get the one I linked to or:Newegg.com - XFX Black Edition P1-750B-CAG9 750W ATX12V v2.2 / ESP12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Newegg.com - SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

You can't go wrong with any of these.

Edit: The 750 w ones will do just fine. If you'll feel more assured with the 850w then by all means go for it.

 

[xX-ulari-Xx]

yeah I will do, they have 5 star reviews everywhere i look! which is pretty impressive! but yeah I may as well go for the 850W if I'm gunna save that much then £10 more isn't much to wait around for xD

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 850W V2 High Performance Power Supply (CMPSU-850TXV2UK) [CMPSU-850TXV2]

That is the one I'm currently looking at... although maybe this one bit more expensive however.. Corsair Professional Series™ Gold AX750 High Performance 750W Power Supply (CMPSU-750AXUK) [CMPSU-750AXUK]

and that is the problem with PC building xD

 

[Wrench97]

They are both Seasonic based units, either will do fine, I would opt for the 850 to cover any future upgrades.

cheers, thanks for the help! when i get my new PSU i'll post back letting people know if this fixed my problem.
