Is Kinetics crashing my machine?

Video drivers need to be updated. That is likely a large part of your problem.
You may need to use the ATI Mobility Modder to be able to install the drivers.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
thanks, where do I get the ATI Mobility Modder ?
I looked at a bunch of sites and they looked spammy and not a source I trust to install something that effects the system

you don't need to use the mobility modder.
You have NT6 and a RadeonHD. Get your drivers from here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-32.aspx
thanks guys. i upgraded my driver, played my kinetic and my system still shut down
heres what I have now

Ok, so playing your Kineticist crashes the game. Is it just logging it in and running about or a certain power or what? Basically, is there any common thread to what you're doing with it when you crash? Can you team with a Kin while on another toon or does that crash you too? Do you have another kinetics toon you can try or have you perhaps tried creating a new one just to test? Have you tried running the game in safe mode? Safe mode is accessed by checking the safe mode box which appears in the updater when you get to the TOS screen. Check the box before clicking Accept. It will force your graphics down to minimal but if your Kin still crashes you then that would tend to suggest graphics are not the issue. Also, you might see about getting an update for your sound drivers as well.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
I'm going to go in a serious tangent here, as my spouse had some serious issues with her Kin that didn't seem to affect her other characters (as bad).
What Anti-virus are you running? If you are running the MS Security Essentials, have you added CoH to the exception programs for real time scanning (or any other AV program for that matter)?
She wouldn't crash, but her system would lag to the point it was unplayable, with frame rates dropping below 1 (one) fps and often hanging for seconds at a time.

just another random dude
ok its not kinetic, I just logged in and started playing my DS MM and in 4 minutes my system shut off.
I dont understand how I was able to play fine, no problem, then in the past week I cant play more than 5 minutes
my computer is actually cool, not hot, and I have a NZXT cooling pad under it.

I think when I play kinetics toon my computer crashes, especially when Im on a team. but when I play other non-kinetics toons it doesnt.
Is this possible?
heres my system info
