Dark Corners of the Earth (Shadow Over Innsmouth-)

I finally got to play for a good hour without crashing.

This is the first game that I've waited six years for, the first for which I actually showed
up at the store first thing in the morning of its release.

Get home, install, 5 minutes, CRASH! (to the game's credit, there was one time I was
so freaked out I wanted it to crash. Then it did, of course.)

to make a long story short I discovered the fan on my gpu has been busted for
I-don't-know-how-long. Now I have the case open with another fan blasting away at it.

Finally, six freakin' years!

If you're into HP Lovecraft or survival horror adventure, it's buggy, but not a bad risk at $30.

If you consistently crash after a few minutes of otherwise fine playability, definitely
check for heat issues.

But I'm currently sucked into Oblivion...I'll pick it up eventually though :)

hours of uninterrupted gaming.

Check your existing fans(PSU, video card, bridge and CPU) for build-up of all kinds of gunk. I smoke and have to de-carb my fans on a regular basis, all that electrostatic charge is a magnet for soot and dust and can seriously degrade a fans performance. Check that the heatsinks are soundly mounted as well.

I regularly give them a blast of compressed air from a can as well. It helps keep the components from getting a thin coating of dust.

2 of those microscopic resistors or whatever came off along with the old hsf.

this is perhaps the most disturbing and frightening game I've ever played.

twice, in fact. Only at night and with headphones. Really creepy game. Hope you enjoy!

but I'm on the dreaded Intel Mac. (In fact... nothing ever crashes for me. Not even windows.)
