computer dies minute after loading

My computer will just shut off within a minute of loading a character (i have bsod enabled, my computer will just die). I remember having this problem before and fixing it but I cannot remember what i did. I tried rolling back my nvidea drivers but that did not help.

It dies like my computer is turning off to protect the gfx card from overheating but there is no time to build up heat, it will do the same thing in safe mode.
Any help will be appreciated.

reinstalling the entire game fixed everything

Cool! Now, this is your next issue to address before it starts causing problems. Actually, it's likely causing problems already. 3% free space on your primary drive is BAD. VERY BAD. It should never be below 10%.

Actually, some Windows systems will have problems once free space starts getting below 20%. They are still reusing some of the base coding that some of the systems use to check free space before running, and those were based off of the percentage of free space and not the actual size of the free space.

Aside from that, you should really upgrade Windows to Service Pack 2. Since SP2 has been out for a year and a half and it still isn't installed on your computer, it's possible that there are several other Windows Updates that need to be run as well.

You can get SP2 by running Windows Updates, although you may have to install other updates and run Windows Updates again several times before it will show up.

You can also download the standalone installer from Microsoft using this link, save it to your desktop, run the file once the download is finished, let the computer reboot, and then run Windows Updates to get the rest of the updates available.


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.
