Also,what is your desk like? Does it have a separate compartment for the tower? My old desk, I couldnt leave the tower in the desk during the summer, it would overheat in the desk. In the winter, no problem. But in summer, I would have it sit on the rug to play this game. So try playing with case open and maybe with tower on the floor.
Also, you could go into the Bios and see what setting there are for auto-shutoff. Most new mobo bios will have a setting to trn off the computer if it gets too hot. Either disable this altogether (not recommended) or turn the setting up a few degrees.

This bit is interesting. Is there, I wonder, a limited amount of low bandwidth/background networking available on a Windows system? That's what the log seems to say.
Two things:
1. Wait a bit, see if the other process finishes. You might have to look around your system to find the culprit and ask it to stop. I try to configure all my software to NOT automatically download any patch or update, but to ask me first. This includes the Windows updater itself.
2. I wonder if the developers would consider, if "low bandwidth" is not available, to just use a regular socket. It might be better to do a foreground download than error out.
Hurtya - are you just letting it download on it's own, or are you telling the updater to download NOW?

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Like the others are hinting, if you're not doing it already, then hit the Update Now button in the launcher and let it run. You may need to try disabling your AV/ISS software until it's done as sometimes that helps.
So, to repeat:
The people who can help you spend time in that forum and need the information listed in Hyperstrike's guide in order to help you.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but If you are unwilling to do these simple things and prefer to whine and mope about how you can't play, then there's not much else that can be done for you.
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.
