So I'm not totally positive SC is at fault but, it seems like the most likely culprit. I fired it up after updating a couple weeks ago and, after trying about 20 times to get in over 3 days and finally did. Anyway, i got most of the way to the planet before it locked-up the whole PC with a sound loop and the GPU fan kicked up to 100% until i did a hard-reboot. I didn't think much of it at the time but it started happening in other games.... Same crash requiring a hard reboot. I'm at the point now where i pretty much can't play anything, and am about to try a windows reinstall... Something I'd rather not do. I know i haven't given anyone a lot to go on here but anyone have any idea what might have happened? I've already tried about 3 different drivers and deleted a few things that i thought might be conflicting with the GPU drivers. Any help would be appreciated.
