Just recently I bought a game for my PC I installed everything and it was all fine, until when I start playing the game.
I'll be playing the game as normal and without any warning the game will crash and return me back to the windows main screen, sometimes it would even cause the computer to restart itself. I don't get any warnings like I said and I do not have any error messages popping up, Although a couple of times when I've tried starting the game its said there are no suitable 3d devices found. (something along them lines anyway) I've tried to install new graphics drivers without success as it still crashes, and on occasions restarts itself.
I thought it mite of been that the computer was getting too hot so therefore installed 2 case fans, and obviously the CPU fan (1 blowing cool air in, 1 blowing it back out again) But again this hasnt't solved the crashing problem.
Could someone please please help me out on this one.

I'd also like to add that all of my computer components are of greater performance levels to all the minimum system requirements on the game and the recommended system requires listed on the game case.

Hardware problems usualy cause restarts or blue screens,check if the game is fully compatible with your system drivers,if not then upgrade them!

Like i said previously all my computer components and drivers are of greater performance to what the game needs to run.
