Hi There

I know this may be a stupid question but do you have any cards next to your graphics card that could be covering or slightly covering the fan on it.

I ask as I had a similar problem with mine when I installed a soundcard on the slot next to my graphics card.

I found it was making the graphics card heat up more and causing it to stutter and finally crash out of the game.

well, no i haven't, but then the other games should crash just as frequently as well, especially since far cry 2 , gta iv and crysis (i just got that one) are more cpu and gpu intensive than IL2 and i haven't experienced any problems in those games..

But thanks for the suggestion, and i'll see if there's something else blocking the fan.
