Batman: Arkham Asylum Message Board  

Oh my god, I think the 4870x2 just overheated and the game wasn't even maxed out. Basically I'm playing, the PC reboots, anything you guys can say to help me? The game was playing on

1024x768
Everything set to High, not max

Specs:

4870x2
Core 2 Duo @ 3.00 Ghz
6GB DRR2 800 Mhz Kingston
X-fi Xtreme Audio

I know that the processor is really in the line of the Recommended Requirements (Pentium D/Anthlon X2 3.00), could that have overheated?

PS: Its a E8400, so no overclock, NOTHING in my PC is overclocked ATM.

Thanks in advance.

Could be anything man... your graphics, processor, RAM, OS, Hell it could be that buggy game(assuming its the game, been reading about the game lots of peps complaining, dont know it its just the pirates or even the legit users thou)

Is the PC in a re-loop of restarting or you can go to windows?
Can you Play any other games?

I can enter windows, I can play other games.

I can attest from personal experience that the legit/retail(steam in my case) game is NO WHERE NEAR as buggy as the 0-day game was. I have played the game for hours, and have yet to run into any of the bugs from the 0-day.

Anyway, like vann said, it could be any of your hardware, your OS, or any of the software you have running in the background. The best way (imho) is to run the game with as few background processes as possible after all hardware components have been reset to stock speeds (if they had been overclocked previously). Also, you might want to update your graphics drivers, lower the settings on the game, or even try to run the game on a different OS in the same box.

EDIT: detobi reminded me of something. When you are having problems like this, you always want to double check that ALL YOUR DRIVERS are up to date, as the problems you described could easily be caused by faulty/old/corrupted drivers.

Do the norm updates and all and run the game and listen for sounds in the game is it at a certain point in the game that your computer reboots if so it could be sound related. But sometimes sound issues can cause a system to hang up and reboot
