Hello,

Either the game goes into a windowed mode and back to fullscreen with a bit of black screen delay or simply freezes my PC. In the freeze/crash scenario i have to manually shut down the PCs power and turn it back on again. Can anyone please help me? It does this to me mid game

Post your PC specs.

Toshiba satellite

i3

4gb ram DDR3 ( i think)

intel graphics processor (on which i play cod4 and crysis)

500 gb HDD

 

The game starts doing this shitty stuff after about ten to fifteen minutes of gameplay

Did you check your console log (any errors etc)?

How could i? i have to restart my PC

Overheating?

Well there's your problem. Intel graphic often heats up faster. It's not recommended to play games with those.

That couldnt possibly be the problem. This happens at least after 15 minutes. Doesnt give me a problem when i play COD 4 for 14 hours straight.

Minimized the game myself before it crashed.

Any ideas?

Well, it's for good measure, download HWMonitor and watch your temps, you never know.

Toshiba health moniter, built in sensor. its always in the good zone

Yeah checked it again while playing

Fan speed is around 70% while the temp is around 55%

same issue. I've reinstalled EVERYTHING and it still does the same thing.

 

I get stuck on the "setting up game" screen on levels.
