I just got my new pc and crysis with the settings maxed out it runs well but my pc goes blank and reboots after a few mins of playing im running 2x ati4850s in crossfirex ive looked up other fourms about this and found that many people have the same problem but I havent found a solution some think it my be the power supply but I have a 680 so I didnt think that would be it.

I just patched crysis to 1.2 and updated my video drivers to the latest and still no luck.

My full specs

Windows Vista SP1 64

Intel Core i7 920

6.00 GB Memory

2x ati 4850 1gig in crossfirex

PS 680watt

Is this the steam version or dvd/box? What temps are you getting on the graphics card and cpu? Have you tried any other games and had the same problem? Try running it without the settings maxed. Also try playing without crossfire. Just use one card and see if it works.

You also want to make sure you have DirectX 10 selected, the initial version sometimes selected DX 9 when it installed as there wasn't a 64bit version initially. At least it did with me and constantly caused my game to crash to desktop. Going DX10 solved it for me.

I have a dvd version my pc isnt overheating I turned off crossfire in catalyst control and it no longer reboots witch is just strange it runs great with settings maxed but turn crossfire on and crash I lowerd the settings and turned crossfire on and it still crashes just takes longer.

How do you turn DX10 on I didnt see a setting for that?
