Hi purchased guild wars yesturday, and was making good progress happy playing this amazing game until, my fan control started bleeping 65.00 degrees warning me.

Then my moniter switched off and computer rebooted. This was after about 40mins playing and installing the game, then the second time i went on after a reboot it rebooted after 5 mins.

Is this a processor cooling problem? as i think i only have heatsink and no fan (which i have purchased) but i wondering if there is any other things i should purchase to maximise the performane of my PC to play this game. I have 1gig RAM ,2.66ghz intel celeron d processor, 80gig HDD, and in intel graphics accelorator thing (is this my graphics card?)

thankyou for reading if you got this far lol as i do blabble a lot but any help would be great thanks guys!

That computer system sounds more than capable than running the game. So, I think it's just the cooling system.

the intel graphics solution is not really good. it uses the CPU and system ram to carry out its task, which is probably adding additional burden on your CPU.

instal a CPU fan, and maybe a dedicated graphics card if you can.

Hi all thanks for the help i downloaded the latest graphics driver for the intel and hey presto it worked!
i was playing non stop, but just to be on the safe side my processor was like 70 degress, so i have purchased a new case, and cables with extra fans and fan bays to keep it steady and not burn the house down.
