My Computer Keeps Crashing while in multiplayer

Yes one time with a system message that says something about the FX g force. Other times my computer just shuts off entirely. This is really frustrating. I uninstalled all unecessary programs and ran virus checks. Still does it. Wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas on what I should do. Thinking i Should reinstall FO.

Do you get a crashlog from Fleet Ops? If so, please post it

If you're getting hard shutdowns and messages about your graphics card it could be that you're having hardware issues. What model is your card? If it's actually an FX series card that's quite old, it could be failing; if you have a Quadro FX (although I doubt it) those are workstation cards and aren't designed for gaming. Are you having issues in other games you play (if any)? When your PC does shut off, do you get a Blue Screen or does it just shut down? In the latter case, I've had that happen if my machine overheats.

i've also had a machine immediately power off without blue screen, due to a driver problem, in this case a touchpad driver. so yeah, annoyingly without an error message/blue screen, there are multiple possibilities of cause.
