Re: OT: Hardware problem?
Fixed the crashing problem!
Opened the case, removed the graphics card and cleaned all the dust off the heatsink. It wasn't horribly dusty, but every little bit helps.
Then I took off the CPU fan to take a look at the CPU heatsink. Absolutely covered in dust. Cleaned all that dust out, put everything back together, and the crashes have stopped! Ran FarCry for 20 minutes without issue, before it'd crash within 3-5 minutes. So I should be good!
