Sometimes when I play the game it stops for a second then it goes to a blue screen with white letters then it shuts the computer down. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Because I want to get good at playing this game without it shutting down on me.

Try Reinstalling it ? Does it happen when you play for a while ? or it just happens randomly ?

It does it both ways sometimes. Sometimes as soon as I play it it does it other times just out of the blue. So I should try reinstalling it still?

Try , But maybe it'll fix it .. and perhaps theres an hardware problem .. maybe your VGA being overhated or not pluged in correctly(it could happen when you move your case too much).

Your CPU may be overheating. Use rivatuner or other monitoring program to track the temp. If it is too high, add a fan or open the side of the case.

Sounds like a textbook hardware issue; make sure all your drivers are up to date (nvidia/ati video drivers especially) and don't forget sound card drivers. As was mentioned, check all the connections inside and check the heat with monitoring software - I'd recommend EVEREST. Post what your temps are in degrees celcius AFTER you've updated drivers and such. Also, have you patched C n C 3 to the latest update?

If this happens to only this game than nothing is wrong whit your hardware. Nothing is overheating. Its just software releated problem. Try to install new drivers, scan for viruses, and try reinstalling game.

One game could cause hardware to overheat eventhough other games don't. MII:TW and Stalker causes my GPU to overheat, but all my other games run fine. It is not as common, but it can happen.

I don't think that test worked. I click the run thing but it didn't do anything and I played the game it seemed to be working fine but after two games it went to that blue screen again. I played it just now seemed to be working but I am not sure.

It would not be your vid card that is the problem, it would be your CPU. If the CPU gets too hot, it will shut down so it will not overheat, while the vid card would show artifacts. Use a system monitor like RivaTuner or Everest and run it while you play. Keep an eye on the temps (they will track your CPU, GPU and anything else you like). If it is a heat problem, they will help identify it. If the temps are fine, we can try something else, but it is handy to have the system monitor anyway.

Is that temp while you are playing the game, or just sitting there without anything running?

HI, I have a problem with cnc3 Kane's wrath. The problem is when I play in some maps the enemy doesn't do anything, doesn't build or train. but sometimes when I change the enemy faction or difficulty it works. Those maps are made by people not EA itself. Any help ?? Thanks,
