Thank you for this post!
Everyone with the same problems: click "ME TOO"
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....
Could be the drivers as well. That would lay on AMD's doorstep. but from what i saw nvidia users are having problems as well. There is a recent nvidia driver out on the 4th that is made for simcity though. (for nvidia users) This isn't happening to all of the amd users but it seems to be a good amount. It is getting frustrating. I can deal with server issues (been a WoW player for 6 years) but this issue is non excusable. I would be happy with word from Maxis saying that they know and are working on a fix. I don't want to wait here for a fix and have them never even take a look at it..
