Marvel Heros crashes computer

[Jakoob]

My brother has been playing Marvel Heroes for over 300 hours and has had no problems with it. Recently however, after playing for around 5 minutes the whole computer will shut down. The thing that's even more weird though is that after he turns on the computer, the monitor, keyboard and mouse do not work. He has to restart the pc in order for it to start up properly.

 

When this started happening, we assumed it was a heating problem because the CPU temp was going p to around 70~80 Celsius. After we cleaned all the dust from the computer and applied new thermal paste to the cpu cooler, the temps went down to 50.

So are they still happening?

Sone times minimum is even playable. Like minimum requirements for Dayz equals 9 fps on lowest settings.

Has there been a recent driver update?

@xNeon  Yes they are currently still happening.

 

@Cokeman  The game runs at about 20 fps, but the specs shouldn't be the problem because he's already logged more than 300 hours onto the game with the same specs. 

 

@Davsmith4  The drivers are all up to date as of 8/23
