Q:

i wonder how to solve this problem each time i do “FOTM” swamp when meeting boomhunger boss…

each time i enter the swamp map and face boomhunger. my comp will auto restart by itself… but when i meet mossman , it doesn’t have this problem… It’s only boomhunger boss fight that happens..

did anyone encounter this before? if so, how i do solve it?

my system is only a year old and using ATI 6800 gpu and i3 processor

:(

This sounds like a blue screen of death (BSOD) or an overheat shutdown. BSOD is much more likely and more probable. The reason you dont see the BSOD is that your widows is set to automatically restart on errors.

Here is a link describing how to change this so you can see the error;

After making this change, if the computer BSOD’s again you will be presented with a error code pointing towards the reason for the crash. For example “BSOD_In_NV4dsp.dll” means an Nvidia graphics driver crash caused the problem. So get the code from your screen, restart and either post it here or try googling it for information.

I’m not sure if this will help or not, but I encounter a significant FPS drop when fighting Bloomhunger because of the amount of reflections that are generated in that area. To reduce this, I simple turn reflections off for this fight. I would try that as well and see how that fares out.
