Like what? I BELIEVE I'm having a 100% cpu usage crash issue. I have a 620 watt power supply, so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't think it is temperature. It just seems to spike on CPU usage... I THINK.... I don't have any monitoring systems running. I have HW monitor, but I don't run it all the time. I used it to monitor temp a bit, made sure that wasn't the problem. I resinstalled the program and got to play the longest I have for a while - about 10 minutes. I had 3 things change from when it worked fine 1) bought retail version (not pirated) 2) bought new vid card (but it's better..) 3) installed a new 620 watt power supply. So it must be one of those I in someway. I'm still toiling along.

Do we know exactly what is causing the problem? CPU usage? temp? I'm reading all sorts of things. Having an idea where to start would help. Anyone have anything definitive?

Windows XP 32 bit (haven't had time or money to upgrade that yet) 4 gigs ram (of course, only sees 3.25 gigs) AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 5200+ 2.61 Ghz ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series Here's my story. My friend gave it to me for present, installed it for me. I never had a problem. Right before Christmas, I found out it was an illegal copy. So I bought it and installed it for real. (I have enough games I dont' need to get an illegal copy) Then over Christmas, my old video card died (it was a radeon 9500 series, I beleive). I replaced the video card with the HD 4600, replaced my power supply with a 620 watt and installed my legal copy. Every since it does the black screen computer reboot error. I can't get anything to work. I've tried bare settings, I've tried no AA, etc... I've tried lower resolutions. Still trying, but dang this is crazy.
