Game shuts down computer(1)Category: Technical SupportSeptember-19-2014 7:35 AM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
While playing the game at irregular intervals the entire computer shuts down and restarts. Diablo is the only program that has that issue. I just recently re installed the game after the mother board and hard drive was replaced. The rest of the system is up to date on the drivers. I have not tried this on any other computers in this house (DSL connection and live in the area where dinosaurs roam) as it takes a good 12 hours to down load the game due to internet speed. Any patches or updates that may be missing that I need to install the fix this problem. (Had this problem before as well so not so new)

Pentock,

MatteyH is correct. Your symptom is one you'd see if the cpu were overheating. Since you said the motherboard was recently replaced, there's a good chance the cpu cooler was either re-installed improperly or they may not have cleaned off the old paste and applied a new coating.

You can find the utility MatteyH mentioned at:

Start the game and let it run several minutes. Then exit or alt-tab out and see what the highest temperature is that was reached for the cpu.
