    Since the other thread kind of went crazy.

    I've been playing APB and my computer specs can handle it. But once I get into the game for just a little awhile (usually a minute) it'll freeze up my PC and I have to force restart it.
    When I first started playing it didn't happen until like 4 hours into the game.
    Then it slowly worked its way down and now it happens right when I connect for a few seconds.

    I'm guessing it's something to do with overheating?

    Anyone got an idea?

    Guessing you've already tried just reinstalling/updating graphics drivers?

    Yeah, and I don't believe it's a CPU/RAM issue, I watched it crashed while both were around 70%

    Get a temperature monitor and then stick apb in windowed mode and see temps when you crash?

    Also how much ram do you have, Apbs a bit funny with ram,

    Yeah I've crashed playing APB too, but only from overheating. I don't think it's a ram issue, I run the game with only 3gb.

    I've got 4GB of RAM.
    I was using SpeedFan and my CPU Temp was at 51C when it crashed.

    If it's 51c that's not an issue, Mine can/did run at 100

    Oh but what cpu are you using intel or amd?

    What?

    Your CPU was 100C and you were like "Oh cool it can run at 100C"?
