Diagnosing a problem...Need help

[ding5550123]

There is this thing that happens every time I attempt to play the game Black and White. the game runs fine for about 15 min, then freezes. The only way I can get out of it is to manually restart my system. Upon estart my CPU is at 63C Close to the red on the intel desktop utilities. It is an Itel P4 HT clocked at 3.07 GHz with no OC. I am running the stock cooler foud in the retail box. I've looked in the event Viewer and it has no inforation about what happened. Is my CPU getting to hot?

May be the vid card that is getting too hot.

1. Have you looked inside your case to make sure all your fans are spinning?

2. How is your case ventilation? (ie. how many fans in what configuration, and are they restricted in any way)

3. Are the HSF fins on your CPU plugged up w/ dust, lint etc.

63C is too hot find a way to make it at 50+ . check your fan orientation or add more fan to the casing.
