Hello Everyone,
I have a desktop computer. I used Duel Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz processor, ECS G41-M7 motherboard, 500 GB Hard disk driver, 2 GB of RAM and OS is windows 7. But while running a cricket game version Cricket-2011 my computer shut down suddenly.
What can I do now to solve this problem?
Please someone help soon.
Please try this experiment: Open your computer's casing and point an electric fan at your motherboard. If your PC does not shutdown while playing then it's a sign of overheating – your processor or graphics card (or both) is getting too hot from all that playing.
Install a temperature monitoring software such as "Core Temp" and monitor your system's temperature as you are playing. There are also tools that monitor your graphics card's temperature.
Does your system shutdown during CPU-intensive tasks or only during graphics-intensive tasks?
If it shuts down during CPU-intensive tasks that are not graphics-intensive (such as encoding mp3, encoding movies) then your processor is the one heating up and not the graphics card.
If you notice that these components are getting too hot, consider checking the heat sink and fan of both.
I don’t think that sudden shut down is related to a problem with the game. The usual reason why a computer shuts down unexpectedly is overheating. In your case, your machine’s specifications seem pretty much compatible with Cricket 2011. Cricket 2011 supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.x.
It requires 1.4 GHz or faster processor, 256 MB RAM, Microsoft DirectX 9.0c-compatible video card with 32 MB video RAM, and 1.2 GB free space. Try to uninstall and reinstall the game. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it. Once installed, start Revo then select Cricket 2011 among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process.
When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, exit Revo then install Cricket 2011 back or download a free copy from EA Sports Cricket 2011 PC Game Full Version Free Download. Follow the instructions to install the game.
If the problem continues and your computer still shuts down, check the cooling system of your CPU. Try replacing the processor cooling fan by purchasing a new one.
