Game makes Computer turns off

Hey guys, hopefully you can help me instead of paying for some computer technicians.

Basically I'm a fan of the "Total War" game series. Don't know how many of you here are into them. But anyway, I've had Medieval II: Total war for a couple of years now and recently whenever I've played it and its in the battle scree or just finished a battle and returns to the campaign map, the computer shuts down automatically.

In short, WHY?

Oh please someone know why.

A few things it could be...

The most obvious is it could be a bug. Have you googled the issue to see if others have had it? If so, was the game patched at some point? I'd look on the official website and make sure your game is up to date.

Your computer might also be overheating. Open your case and make sure all your fans are working properly, or monitor your heat through the onboard sensors. You should have a program that came with the computer that does that for you.

I second that, Heat is the most likely culprit.
Check the fans on both the CPU & your Graphics Card, Graphics Cards don't tend to get too hot during normal usage, but once you start playing games, that puts more of a load on them, and without proper cooling, can cause them to overheat, causing either shutdowns, or graphic glitches.

I'm going to have to say overheating issues are more likely.

I'm going to go with him.

Either that... or you have a virus.

You guys shouldn't underestimate God's power. Everyone's always wondering why their computers don't work, but it's pretty obvious to me that god tries to make the lives difficult of people who look at porno and play violent video games.

Medieval Total War is a fairly complex strategy game about a period of European history. It is not merely a "violent video game" - the point of it is strategy, not violence.

Maybe if you have a problem with the content, you could go back and ask the medieval Christians in Europe at the time to stop killing each other?

People who kill other people and say they're Christian aren't really Christian.
