    prob with my system

    k, here it is, i can go all day long, on my comp, and everything is fine,
    but if i play ANY game that is decently high end, i'll play maybe 30 mins, then it jsut kicks me out, no error message, no nothing, just kicks me, then i'll go RIGHT back into it, maybe stay 2 mins, and kicks me back out, the only way i can play is to let my system sit for 30 mins and come back,? will heat do this?

    Well the first question is are you completely up to date with your drivers? Especially video?

    You have 3GB of ram? Wow.

    Have you tried running the game with perhaps only a mininum of memory modules? I'd try that and play around with it some. I also have a 2nd idea of it being heat related. That is giving it a chance to cool down and everything.

    If you try that and run into problems still, let us know.

    What case, power supply, and cooling setup do you have? I forgot to even ask...

    Sounds to me like there's a good chance it's heat-related since you can give it time (possibly to cool off) and then you can play again for a while.
