Computer Crashes during Gameplay(1)Category: Technical SupportSeptember-6-2013 6:58 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I have been playing for the last 3 months with no issues and lately (I have made no changes) my computer starts to crash during game play. It is not just Diablo 3 crashing it is the whole computer crashing and forcing a reboot. I tried the scan and repair option and I will post the outcome later but as of now can I get some support for this issue.

ABlindMan ,

My first guess would be something may be overheating. The game itself doesn't have the ability to issue a reboot command to your computer. It can stress components though such as the cpu and video card which in turn can get pretty hot if not cooled properly.

Download and run HWMonitor from: http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/1.23-setup.exe

Now 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 both the cpu and gpu.
