@xXFrozenChromeXx It's been a few days, can I ask if the steps were effective?
Cheers - ApprovedAnonymous9 years ago
@EA_DavidSeems no :V
I just realized the temperature of my GPU whenever i play the game goes too high.
I even put all the settings to low, but doesn't matter.
I have a good gaming pc, i always played with high resolution and high settings without any problems for 2 month.
I will try to open it and try to see if there's some dust or i have to change it and buy a new GPU - What's your temperature at? Most GPUs should be fine as long as you're below 85C. Also, are you on Nvidia or AMD? Which model and brand? And may I ask what kind of crash you're experiencing? Does it just close without warning or does a window pop up and saying something like "This application has stopped working" with a progress bar or something else?

Thanks for the extra info. If it's any consolation I know what it's like to have heat issues, I think I need to replace my CPU cooler for my home machine.
In any case I'd be interested to see the answers to Catalyst of Hope's questions. - ApprovedAnonymous9 years ago
Nvdia gtx 760
The temperature is normally 60° but suddenly goes over 95-100 when i play.
Suddenly i hear a "trrr" sound, the screen become black and pc reboot itself - SimplyJen9 years agoSeasoned Ace

I played with vsync, but since i've got the problem i put all the resolution things at minimal.
Well, it's a temperature forced shutdown alright, to protect your GPU. When you say suddenly, do you mean the temperature just jumps up within the next 10 seconds or gradually increase within the next 10 minutes or an hour? Have you tried to see if this is happening to any of your other games? If this is happening with other games, then it could be your GPU, but if it only happens in PvZ GW2, then obviously it's the game. Although so far you're the first I've seen/read that has this problem with the game, so it might not be the game.

@xXFrozenChromeXx If there's a fault with the GPU drivers that could also be a factor with overheating. I'd try a complete clean reinstall, then check again.
Hopefully this is effective, otherwise it's looking more and more like a hardware issue. - ApprovedAnonymous9 years ago
how can solve driver problem?
How can i do a complete reinstall? i have to erase the game from the Pc and download it again or something?
- This program completely erase any leftover of old drivers.

Download the latest version, then it should appear in your download folder, go into the download folder and extract the DDU archive into your download folder, 3 new things should appear in your download folder. Go to GeForce.com and download the latest nvidia drivers. Then look for a white and grey icon that says DDU in the download folder and double click on that. It will ask you to go into safe mde, say yes, it will restart the PC and bring you to safe mode, then a window should pop up to ask you what drivers to uninstall and clean, double click on the DDU icon again in the download folder if it doesn't pop up . Then choose nvidia drivers to uinstall. Now choose clean and restart as it recommends to you, then just let it do the work and then it will restart and bring you back to desktop. After that, just install the nvidia drivers you downloaded in your download folder, after its done, restart one more time just to be sure everything is running as intended. I'm sorry I can't be more specific, since I'm not at home and on my PC atm, I hope it's clear enough to understand though.
After all that is done, try other games that is equally demanding to PvZ GW2 to see if you face the same heat problem. If you still do, then I think it's a hardware problem, which you can try to send it back for warranty repair if you're still under warranty or buy a new GPU. There's not a lot you can do about heat problems other than clean the GPU, raise the fan speed to higher setting which gets louder, or go with water cooling. Obviously water cooling is expensive, so that's not exactly an option to consider.

In any case I'd be interested to see the answers to Catalyst of Hope's questions.I would recommend this universal cooler if you're looking for a new one. It's pretty cheap and work very well for most if not all CPU sockets. It's popular and easy to install. You could go with water coolers too, but they're not necessary unless you're going for high overclock.
Top tier thermal paste for optimal efficiency.
Most of the time the stock fans that comes with coolers or cases are not as good as other aftermarket fans. If you are looking for quietness and max efficiency fans, I would recommend these fans, they're ultra quiet and can move a lot of air. You can use 2x 120mm fans on that cooler.

@ElyseusRex Thanks for the extra info. Yeah I'm on a stock cooler after the original intended aftermarket one was dropped and broken.
I've grabbed a Hyper 212 EVO from an old build since then, I just keep putting off the process of taking things apart. 🙂

Speaking of which, how's the heat problem testing going along, FrozenChromelta? Still has the same problem in other games?

Wonderful, thanks for the update.
I learned a long time ago to be very careful for dust buildup, it can quickly get ridiculous if the room conditions are right.
