    You mean you had a virus that was maxing out your resources, and burned out your fan?

    Blue screen of death. Time to backup important files and porn before it's completely fried.

    I'm no computer expert but I think it means a problem was detected, that caused a system error, and your computer shut down to prevent further damage. There was also a physical dump of memory.

    Make sure you did not restart your computer with an external hard drive plugged in. Ive seen this happen before when there are plugged in and rebooted.

    blue screen of death... had my first experience with it not to long ago... I was never able to boot again, but was able to take out the hard drive and add it as a secondary/slave to another computer and get all my stuff off.. was apparently a problem with the operating system.

    this is happening to me I think, pretty sure its my power supply and/or heatsink fan causing my computer to overheat. Is it making any noise?

    I don't think this is quite BigEarn/platts status and I am not a frequent offender. I just know this could be multiple things and the text doesn't really give me a concrete answer as to wtf is going on here. My buddy built this computer for me so I'm not well versed in these matters.

    Well, now that you got the "oh snap, u got da aids," picture... I will answer seriously.

    Your buddy built this PC for you? I will assume then that it is a desktop. You are running Windows 7 Ultimate, OK.

    That message is clearly a video card message. The first nice piece of information is that you were playing a visually demanding game, and that the only time it has happened to you was 2x and both were playing that same game (hope I read that correctly).

    I would go ahead and lean towards you need to see if there is an updated video driver for your video card. Or, perhaps you need to upgrade your video card if you wish to play games on such a big monitor at full screen on a high resolution. Seems to me that your video card cannot handle the load.

    ... I said load.

    you could also try playing the game at a lower resolution (most games allow you to toggle the resolution in the settings).
