I run SLI with every other game perfectly fine. But Mass Effect
always gave me problems. Fine. I figured it was just a simple anomaly
with Mass Effect. Since the orginal Mass Effect I have upgraded my
hardware, drivers, and played many games with no problems. Now I have
two different cards besides the new motherboard with the i7 and all
that jazz.... and the new Mass Effect is STILL overheating my cards and
causing system failure. Sometimes its runs ok. Other times, it
completely fries GPU 1 while leavng GPU 2 nice and boot up temp dandy.
I am getting sick of this. Yes, I have updated my drivers, I installed
the evga SLI patch, I have tweaked this till it cant be tweaked any
more. Yet I am still getting system crashes because my first GPU
continues to overheat, and its only in this game.I really
would like an explanation. I bought your game for 50 us dollars and
your game is overheating my system on a consistent basis. Please tell
me why before it destroys my hardware.

And no I am not overclocking my video cards, and I am running the cooling fans at 100 percent.

Maybe the card is defective. Just because you can run other games doesn't mean there's not a problem with the card. Something with ME's game engine could be triggering an issue with the hardware. This seems especially likely since it doesn't happen with the other card.

OK I'm sorry if my initial post was brash, but this is really bugging me. I honestly don't think it's a video card problem. GPU1 is always in sync with GPU2 in temps in every other game I have played with this setup in SLI. And I have played a LOT of other games. Crysis, Warhead, Fallout 3, Bioshock, UT3, etc etc. Even in this game most of the levels are fine! Everything runs normally... until I try to land on Zorya. This one level fries my first GPU within seconds. I just don't understand it.

Check if you got dust. Lots of dust = Instant GPU Pwnage and also note that ME 2 is a very GPU-Resourced game so expect your GPU to run on higher loads then usual.

Post your system spec.



Have you tried a 3rdp low level fan control app like RivaTuner? What are you GPU temps btw?



You're not clearly stating an error - whats happening?

Have you tried swapping the positions of the two cards?

Have you tried running just one card in the system?



Also. you said you upgraded your cards, but have not told us what type of cards you upgraded to. For all we know you're running 2 Radeon HD2400s. If you are running something crazy like 2 Geforce GTX295s, then it could be your power supply not being able to keep up with both cards at full load.

Details are needed for troubleshooting.
