Exclamation Crashing in 3dgames...
When i try to play something with high quality graphics like NFS:mw... the screen and sound freezes and pc restarts.. what problem it could be? i tried the the tweaked drivers(now i'm using the drivers that came with my card asus/nvidia 71.24) and it happened even faster, i think that is because of overheting cause when i run lower quality in the game which should not heat the card so high it runs normally for a longer time. The temperature on my Asus n6600 is about 50°C but Asus support tells me that the temperature is ok till 70°C. Can somebody please help me to solve this problem??

Cool = long lasting
Cooler = faster
Very cool = long lasting speed.
