when playing flight simulator x my computer stats to overheat resets itself what should i do its got 2 fans dose it need more air
get somthing like speedfan to find out wich temps are making it reset first(google it), when you know where the problem is you can then decide how best to tackle it. cleaning any vent filters can help. another good thing to do is to make sure all the cables inside the case are tied together and are as out of the way of the airflow as much as possible, try to get them all routed down the same side of the case. you could also try moving your hard disks if you think they are blocking airflow. these are both easy, free, ways to help and every one should do this. if that doesnt help, you could try some new fans that move more air or new third party heatsink fan on your cpu and gpu which will cool them better, or even a new case as some cases are just not designed with good airflow in mind.
u sure its overheating flight simulator x isnt too tolling on system resources it may be driver conflicts or something along that line
follow this link and click on where it says "speedfan 4.3 in blue then save it. http://www.almico.com/speedfan431.exe install it, play for 1 hour if you can, if not as long as you can, then use it to see what your temps are. then post back with the 3 temps and we will know what needs doing.
hmm u said tha after u switched views it restarted? that would indicate that it isnt overheating and its more a problem with the game look on microsoft.com for possible patches that may help with stability. Also do you play any other games on your pc and if so what are and do they crash too?
