Re: Overheating Fix for Dummies--Does It Exist?

Normally if your CPU overheats, the PC would shut down.

You can try messing with affinities. While running the game, press ctrl+shift+escape. Go to the processes tab and find Dragon Age Inquisition. Then 'set affinity' and disable a core. Note that this will probably reduce your performance significantly.

You can reduce the CPU usage in Windows. In the Windows control panel, go to hardware and find the energy settings. Manually alter the energy settings and make sure you go to the advanced settings. There should be an option for maximum CPU use. if you lower that, temps should go down.

Sorry for the vague description, but I recently got a new PC and my operating system is not in English, so I don't know the exact terminology.
