I recently got Need for Speed: Underground. (The first one.) It's not a super new game, so I pumped up all the video settings to max. My 6600GT handled it fine and I noticed no lag at all. So I'm playing it for like 2 hours and then the whole thing just shuts off. No power surge or anything. I checked the temps. CPU: 67 C. GPU: 55 C. I let it cool of for 2 hours and played it some more. (Temps. returned to normal. An hour later, it shuts off again. I think it may be the CPU overheating. It's a 3200+ Winchester (939) overclocked from 2.0 to 2.2. I have 512MB RAM. Stock cooling.
1.) Do you think that the CPU overheating is the problem?
2.) Would getting a copper Zaleman heatsink solve the problem?
