My specs are as follows

Athlon AMD 64 X2 6400+
Nvidia 9800 GTX+
4 GB RAM
Windows 7

Right the problem is this. If I leave both processors on. Dragon Age will quit after about 2 mins and totally shut down the computer.

However if I turn of one of the processors using the task manager, Dragon Age will run fine. How can I fix it so I don't have to keep on turning of a processor to run Dragon Age?

I would hazard a guess that using both cores at 100% is overheating your CPU and the BIOS is shutting down to prevent your CPU from frying itself and losing its magic smoke. Download RealTemp and monitor your CPU temps. Get a can of air and blow out all the dust bunnies that have invaded your computer, are breeding, and blocking your airflow and cooling.



If you verify that your CPU is getting hot your may be forced to invest in a better cooling solution.

Bottom line, you'll need to wait for a fix from Bioware.



Short term, try this:

Even with stock cooling, id' be surprised if it was crashing because both cores were under full load (unless you've overclocked).

Therein lies the problem. I ran it windowed and used HWmonitor, and it went up to 90 so yes it did shut down, BUT my case may be stock cooled, but it's got the 120mm fans on the front and back, and the exhaust over the processor and the fan beside pulling cool air in. I've also got my gpu fan running at 75% and another fan below that. My cpu fan is running at approx 2500rpm and I can't find any software to speed that up.

@ ad no I never overclock
