    No problem. I want this fixed ASAP. I don't know if this problem could be bad ram or not. Doesn't seem like it though. I haven't done a memory test but I am stress testing my machine with both prime95 and furmark at the same time and no "no signal" error shutdown happening.

      I ran the tests for almost 2 hours. I know you usually need more time but I put my CPU and GPU to 100 percent load and it was going just fine when Simcity crashes after minutes so in my eyes 1 and a half hours is plenty time to see if it is hardware causing it or not.

      When the black screen of death happens it is your computer shutting down to prevent any damages to your card right? It usually happens when the card is overheating am I correct? Could the card somehow THINK that it is overheating and shut down? I know some about computers but I am not a big tech guy so I have no idea how that stuff works. I can be wrong and I am probably wrong on this one heh. CPU 60-70 GPU 70-75 is not overheating temps.

        Could be, but I'm not a tech guy either.

        It's up to EA and Maxis to solve the problem now! It's getting very frustrating....
